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.

Quarterly Meeting Report


The Alvin Museum Society met February 26, 2006, at 2:00 p.m. at the Alvin Senior Center. After the business session, two presentations were made as well as an opportunity to view the photographic commentary on the 1900 Storm. During refreshments, everyone tried to guess the "surprise artifact". The meeting was well attended and everyone had a good time. Many thanks to the volunteers for the delicious refreshments!
