What we do
We here at the Seguin-Guadalupe Heritage Museum are dedicated to the preservation and education about Seguin. Founded in 1992 by our inaugural Executive Director, John Gesick, we formally opened our doors in 1998 and have become a repository for all things Guadalupe County. Located in the historic Baenziger Building at 114 N. River Street, we are a part of the historic downtown district of Seguin and are just off the Square!
Archives
The Seguin-Guadalupe Heritage Museum is one of the major repositories for our county's archives. We have the founding documents for Seguin, the entire collection of Leon Studios, and more!
Education and Outreach
Our museum is always engaging our community through tours, open houses, and school education tours. Feel free to ask us about special tours!
Space Rental
Our building that we reside in is the former Baezinger's Grocery store. Our building also contains the old Kempestein Theatre on our second floor. These venues can be rented for private events.
