We are subject to the Open Meeting Act,

constituted governmental organization reporting to Trinity County’s
Commissioners’ Court, a constitutional county government of the State of
Texas. TCHC was organized in 1975 for the purpose of the
preservation of the county's historic and cultural resources.
This group works in various fields, including archeology, architecture, history, economic development, and heritage tourism for the benefit of present and future generations. The historical commission helps identify and preserve historical sites and helps to preserve the heritage of Trinity County. We have received several Distinguished Service Awards presented by Texas Historical Commission, the state agency for historic preservation. Visit the links below to view more TCHC information.
