ACHS in Historic Stories & Photos
Historic Stories
Our members have substantial knowledge of Aransas County history and the families that have come and gone and the ones that are still here. They love to share their knowledge with people who are trying to find out about their family’s past or about the local history. They also enjoy hearing about things that they don’t know. They are good listeners and will soak up the history you have to tell like a sponge.
Photographs
A large collection of framed historical photos will be on display in the future when the new Aransas County Courthouse opens. There are twenty photos on display in the new Aransas County Community Center at 302 Live Oak St. In addition we have a large archive of digital photographs from personal collections that we have been allowed to copy.

The Aransas County Historical Society archives remain unavailable to the public due to the impact of Hurricane Harvey. The contents are safely preserved in a temperature and humidity controlled environment, and not accessible to the public. We’re looking forward to the day we have a new location where the public may visit the Lab again to see our collections and the projects we’re working on and just sit around and talk about the great County of Aransas!
