From protecting historic architecture, teaching Laredo history to school groups, operating two history museums, maintaining historical archives, and celebrating our city’s founding, the Webb County Heritage Foundation works hard all year-round with support from friends and sponsors.
In celebration of our love for local history, the Webb County Heritage Foundation will host a Valentines’ Membership Cocktail Party on Thursday, February 13 from 6 – 8 p.m. at the Villa Antigua® Border Heritage Museum, 810 Zaragoza St. The public is invited to renew or initiate memberships at this time. There are numerous levels of membership participation available from “Student” to “1755 Club”. Membership forms will be available that evening.
This year, the evening will include an exhibit of international vintage postcards and historical artifacts featuring the game of tennis throughout the decades from the private collection of Armengol Guerra. This exhibit includes images of some local tennis players from the 1920s to the 1960s.
The gathering will also serve as the organization’s Annual Meeting with a special report on the WCHF’s activities presented at 6:30 p.m.
