BCHS is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the history of Bastrop and Bastrop County. The Society is a group of energetic trustees, volunteers, and staff who operate the Society’s museum with monies from the City of Bastrop, from dues paid by individual and business members, and from sponsors who generously underwrite the Society’s annual events and activities.
In 1952, members of Bastrop's Ladies Reading Circle felt the need to "awaken an interest in the early history and legends of Bastrop." Thirty ladies, all who became charter members, sponsored and organized the Bastrop Historical Society. They met at the home of Mrs. Powell Maynard in February 1952 and in that same year purchased the historic Cornelson-Fehr House at 702 Main for a museum.
