The Heritage Room opened in 1975 in the library at Tarrant County College, Northeast Campus. The room contains a special collection of local history of Northeast Tarrant County and genealogical information on some of the families of that sector of the County. There is a wealth of information on what that part of the County used to be like and the people who shaped it into what it is today.
