After a year of canceled plans, the Heritage Society of New Braunfels is gearing up for living history events and three new board members with fresh ideas.
The Heritage Society displays historical artifacts and holds educational and fun events to teach the community about the cityâs rich history, from its founding to day-to-day life.
The foundation will hold an annual membership meeting and picnic on July 21 from 5-8 p.m. at 1370 Church Hill Dr.
They will serve meat and drinks and members are encouraged to bring dessert.
Three new board members will join: Lark Mason III, marketing and operations manager of the Lark Mason Associates Auction House, Skip Nolte, former president of the New Braunfels Evening Lions Club and Sara Shea, owner of The Other Place resort.

The auction house began when Asian art expert Lark Mason, an appraiser on Antique Roadshow, brought his multi-million dollar operations from New York to New Braunfels.
His son, Lark E. Mason III, handles marketing and operations and said the auction house had more people bid for items on their website during the pandemic.Â
