The college lay dormant for eleven years during which time the charter was protected from forfeiture through the efforts of the late Senator Crawford Martin of Hillsboro.

On March 3, 1962, through the efforts of the media, local civic groups, and many others, a bond issue was passed for the purpose of building a new campus.

The Johnson County Campus now includes six buildings on 32 acres of land and has more than 1,000 students enrolled in both day and night classes.

In 1997 and 1998, the citizens of Alvarado, Cleburne, Godley, Grandview, Joshua, Keene, Rio Vista, and Venus approved a local maintenance and operation tax for the purpose of supporting the campus of Hill College in Johnson County.

The Texas Heritage Museum has three divisions: Galleries & Collection, the Historical Research Center, and the Hill College Press.

Considerable thought and research goes into the galleries before they are displayed, and exhibits will continue to change to present fresh topics and perspectives.

The memorial will also complement an extensive archival collection of photographs and documents of other Texan Medal of Honor recipients in the Historical Research Center.
