CITY HALL EXHIBIT

 Stop by Helotes City Hall to view our museum-quality exhibit. 

The Society's Winter/Spring 2024 historical exhibit is now in place, 

highlighting the History of Government Canyon, 1850–present. 

On July 26, 2012, the Society dedicated its first historical exhibit in the gallery of Helotes City Hall with a display of artifacts from the Braun family, including a Winchester Model 1885 rifle and an 1895 Texas law book owned by William Braun, a Precinct 2 constable in the early 1900s. Since that time, the Society has rotated its historical exhibits every six months, showcasing such pioneer families as the Benkes, Brauchles, and Schotts, and artifacts such as early cameras, farm equipment, and quilts.  A recent exhibit showcased the history of the Helotes Fire Department, which began in the 1950s as the Helotes Fire Corps.
