A very good small, locally oriented museum. A good place to pick up on the local color and history of the community. Start here to determine what you want to see or do in the area.

Seguin is a historically significant town, and the Heritage Museum has done a good job collection artifacts and information. The docents are knowledgeable and helpful. The hours are a bit quirky, but if you can catch them when they're open, it's worth a look.

I moved to Seguin in 1955 quickly meeting Mr. Otto Baenziger who owned and operated the Red and White Grocery Store. The red brick building that contained his store was built in 1898 with locally made bricks. In 1932 Mr. Otto bought the building expanding to produce a full size grocery store. In 1952 the Baenziger family moved to another location but retained ownership of the building.

My first job was to help customers as they checked out at Baenziger's. Herold, Mr. Otto's son, hired me at 14 year old for fifty cents an hour. I worked ten hours on Saturday and 2 hours after school on weekdays.

In 1992 the Baenziger family donated the building to create the Seguin-Guadalupe County Heritage Museum. Funds were raised enabling to open in 1997. Over one hundred members attended the 1998 official opening day celebration and the Heritage Museum was well on its way to becoming a cultural attraction for not only Seguin, but, as experience has now shown, for visitors from truly all over the United States and the world.

Mr. Otto and his family made this museum possible. We thank them. When in Seguin make sure to stop in and see the great exhibits.
