The DeWitt County Historical Commission (DWCHC) was organized to preserve, protect, and promote history within DeWitt County. It conducts programs related to the research and placement of historical markers according to State Commission guidelines. Working with the County Commissioner’s Court, the DWCHC recommends the acquisition of property, real or personal, which is of historical significance. In the interest of historical preservation, the DWCHC accepts artifacts and museum paraphernalia in the name of the Commissioner’s Court, and it strives to promote the programs of the Texas State Historical Commission whenever possible.
