The Hays County Historical Commission (HCHC) is currently accepting applications for membership through Nov. 15. Members are appointed by the Hays County Commissioners Court.
HCHC members must be residents of Hays County and are expected to attend monthly meetings which are usually scheduled for the fourth Thursday of the month.
Established in 1953 the Hays County Historical Commission is a group of volunteers appointed by the Hays County Commissioners Court on odd-numbered years for a two-year term to preserve the history and cultural resources of Hays County. In addition to implementing the State Historical Marker program of the Texas Historical Commission on a local level, the Hays Historical Commission is active in the preservation of area cemeteries and historical sites.
The commission’s purpose is to provide information and educational resources to the public on the significance of our heritage in Hays County. The HCHC promotes the preservation of historic resources in the county, including the Hays County Museum (located in the historic Hays County Courthouse) and the Kyle Depot and Heritage Center. Additional information about the HCHC, and an application form, is available on the commission’s website at: hayshistoricalcommission. com.
