Camp Howze Museum

Surplus went not just to Gainesville but all over the Dallas Fort Worth area. Calvary Baptist Church in Gainseville, which is still active today, contains barracks wood from Camp Howze that was used to build a room. . The other Churchs that had buildings that contained camp surplus are not known to be active currently. Bible Prespyterian Church was another church in Gainesville, but this church received an entire chapel from Camp Howze and was dedicated July 25, 1947. Another church that received the camp's surplus was Carollton's First Baptist Church, however, the building that contained the surplus is no longer in use. Camp surplus went to the building of their educational buildings. A church in Dallas called Honey Springs Methodist Church had its opening April 1947 which contained an entire chapel from Camp Howze. First Baptist Church of Whitesboro that is active today, is repurposing a camp building for their services.
