The Alvin Museum Society's constitution was adopted on April 12, 1976. The Society's stated mission is "to preserve the history of Alvin and its immediate area by heightening residents' awareness of the value of saving the past for the benefit of the future. Exhibits, programs, and activities that educate the museums' patrons are offered. Selected for preservation are structures, objects, documents, photographs, oral and visual histories, and all artifacts that add to the telling of Alvin's story." The Society owns and operates the Marguerite Rogers House Museum and the Alvin Historical Museum both of which are open for touring.

At the May meeting of the Alvin Museum Society, some of the artifacts to be displayed in the Alvin Historical Museum were shown. A drawing was held for the correct identification of the above artifact, held by Dr. J. C. DeWitt, one of the winners. Anna Kettler, another winner, shows A History of Manvel, Texas. Both received a copy of the book for recognizing the object as a pack saddle, a wooden frame placed on the back of a burro to secure loads.
