sweet home conservation and historical society
The Sweet Home Conservation and Historical Society (SHCHS) is a non-profit organization formed to recount and preserve the history of Black Texans and specifically, Seguin, Guadalupe County, Texas. Our purpose is to provide a means to draw knowledge and perspective from the past, realize a sense of identity, and find direction toward the future.
The SHCHS is committed to providing ancestry services to support the research and documentation of our remarkable and diverse history and preservation for future generations. Our goal is to ensure the accounts of blacks in Texans is revisited, accurate, and documented. Future endeavors are anticipated on acres of 150-plus year old black-owned land include:
- Heritage Museum
- Ancestral Library
- Black Art Gallery
- Facilities & Event Space
- Land, Farm, & Ranch Development
- Juneteenth Observance
- Veterans Memorial Center
If you are interested in becoming a friend or partner to our society through adopting the same or similar discovery model for your county or community, the SHCHS is always available to guide and support you through this important and necessary undertaking.
