The specific objectives of the Society are to actively promote an awareness by the general public of the history and culture of Bellville, Texas and its surroundings by:

1.     Chronicling the history of Bellville through photographs, past written records, interviews  with the citizenry and through all sources which would provide the membership with information;
2.     Locating, restoring, protecting and commemorating historical building sites, both public & private;
3.     Preserving the charm and beauty of Bellville and its surrounding area;
4.     Commemorating all things of historical significance; buildings, graves, cemeteries, etc.;
5.     Acquiring a building, ultimately to serve as a library/museum/meeting place for the Society and to house its and memorabilia; and

The society has regularly scheduled meetings plus meetings for special interest groups and special events. Visit the Society Meetings page for more information.

Several projects have been completed including the once delapidated historic Masonic Lodge. It was purchased by the Society and was completely and proudly restored. Today it is used for the Society’s monthly meetings and for various community activities.
