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.

Record Volunteer Hours


Don't forget to keep track of your volunteer hours in support of the Alvin Museum Society's programs. Report your hours on a calendar year basis to Fran VanWinkle. It is important that all hours are reported because volunteer efforts are pertinent when applying for grants. So, if you haven't been recording your volunteer hours, take a few minutes now to review your participation and report to Fran by the end of the year. Many thanks for your cooperation in this task.
