The Webb County Heritage Foundation, a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization chartered in 1980, seeks to promote an awareness and appreciation of the goals of historic preservation, heritage education, and heritage tourism. In this role, the WCHF promotes preservation and rehabilitation of historic architecture, ranching heritage, and folklore traditions of the border region. It has been instrumental in the designation of local historic districts and participates in the process of protecting the integrity of these and other areas through its work on the city of Laredo's Historic District Landmark Board. The WCHF conducts tours of historic downtown Laredo, archives historic documents, maps, and photographs, records oral histories, presents exhibitions, and operates the Republic of the Río Grande Museum in one of Laredo's oldest structures located on San Agustín Plaza. The Webb County Heritage Foundation also provides numerous free publications in English and Spanish on subjects related to border history, heritage, landmarks, and folklore. |
