GENERAL INFORMATION
The
purpose of the Burnet County Historical Commission (BCHC) is to
preserve, protect and promote history within the County. To
accomplish that purpose, the Commission makes recommendations and
placements for historical markers; recommends to the County
Commissioners Court for property acquisition which is of
historical significance; accepts, whenever feasible, artifacts and
other museum items in the name of the commission or the county; and
supports, whenever possible, the programs of the Texas Historical
Commission.
The BCHC does not research or answer questions pertaining to family
history or genealogy. These types of questions are referred
to the Burnet County Genealogical Society -
