Our Story

Historic Waco is a volunteer driven organization dedicated to being the storytellers of Waco’s history through the preservation of our historic houses. The foundation was established in 1967, through the merger and incorporation of three common interest groups: the Heritage Society, the Society for Historic Preservation, and the Duncan Foundation. Today, our three historic houses serve an opportunity to preserve Waco's heritage and history, educate the public, and inspire the community.  Throughout the year, we offer house tours, as well as field trips for school groups, our Traveling Trunk program, special events, and rotating exhibitions.
