October Meeting - a FUN change
We will not have an LVHA membership meeting on Tuesday, October 5 because we will be having FUN at National Night Out at the La Vernia City Park from 6-8 p.m. Please drop by our tables for information about the La Vernia Historical Association, the La Vernia Veterans Memorial and the La Vernia Heritage Museum! We always welcome new members, too!
The La Vernia Heritage Museum has been closed since covid but we have been busy researching local historical subjects, and updating and preparing for new exhibits. If you wish to schedule a visit, please contact us at 210-392-3281. We will once again welcome visitors and groups very soon! We appreciate our hard-working Volunteers who always reach new heights to make the museum better!
Guadalupe County Master Gardeners making magic at the museum!
The GCMG are working hard to change our "jungle" into a beautiful garden again! We can't wait to show you the "after" photos!! Check back soon for pics of the magical transformation!
We decided to make all family entries FREE!
In celebration of our 20 Year Anniversary in 2022, we will print a special edition of La Vernia Legacies, the Families Edition. We have decided to forego all family ad fees so your family story can now be included FREE OF CHARGE! Send us your family story and up to 3 photos and we will include it at no charge! We only ask that at least one person in your story lives or lived in La Vernia. Send it to info@LaVerniaHistory.com. The new, extended deadline is March 31, 2022. Upon publication, there will be a charge for the new edition but we promise to keep it as low as possible.
La Vernia Veterans Memorial
Your brick and bench orders will help us complete the final phase of the construction - a 21' obelisk in the center, similar to the one pictured here.


Bricks - $60 or $250 - available for commemorations, birthdays, anniversaries, ancestors, or Veterans' names.

Benches - $2,500 per side -available to honor Veterans only.

Wall Inscriptions - $150

Veterans do not have to live in La Vernia but only have a connection to La Vernia, such as having lived or living here, family or friends who live here or simply having a fond memory of La Vernia!

Veterans, living or deceased, must have honorably completed their service to be eligible for an inscription on the wall.

The inscriptions are engraved twice a year. We must have 10 orders to schedule the engraver. Deadlines for orders are twice a year:
October 10
and
April 10
Visit LaVerniaHistory.com for forms and information.
