About Us
The Montgomery Historical Society's mission is to preserve the history and culture of the City of Montgomery, Texas, for generations to come.
The Montgomery Historical Society has been preserving and sharing the stories of Montgomery, Texas since 1954, when Anna Weisinger opened her restored home, The Magnolia, to the community.
Today, MHS owns and maintains seven historic buildings, offers private tours, supports educational programs, and hosts beloved community events that celebrate Montgomery’s history, culture, and traditions.
Public donations, grants, and event proceeds help preserve these historic spaces, expand educational opportunities, and provide scholarships for deserving seniors at Montgomery’s two high schools.
We invite you to visit, volunteer, attend an event, or support our work as we protect the history we love and preserve Montgomery’s legacy for future generations.
MHS is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit; donations are tax-deductible as allowed by law. Federal Tax ID/EIN: 76-0027722.
