Description

Helen Gibbard Hall served as a third-grade teacher at Fanny Finch Elementary School. After her retirement, she and her husband Capt. Roy Hall, wrote a book on the history of Collin County. After Roy's death in 1970, Helen continued to research local history and wrote two more books.

She served as a founding member of the Heritage Guild of Collin County, which oversees the Chestnut Square Historic Village. She also played an integral role in creating the former Collin County History Museum, now called the North Texas History Center.

The downtown branch of the McKinney Public Library System is named in honor of her and Capt. Hall.
