The Caroline Gilbert Hinchee House is a 501(3)(c) nonprofit community enrichment project in Beaumont, Texas. This beautiful Texas Historic Landmark will soon celebrate its 120th birthday - head to the History Corner for the many stories this old home has to tell.
Hinchee House, more than just an old home, presents the community a multifaceted directive - offering students and veterans opportunities for education via hands-on and digital classes, internships, rehabilitation through learning and work opportunities.
All of what we do requires the support of the community. For three years we have worked to get a grant which we have finally received, but it is a reimbursement loan for money we have spent. We have a start of 50,000.00 but this is a 250,000.00 grant. We can not do this alone.
I know these are tough times for everyone now and with the already generous donations, and our determination we have managed to stay afloat to to pay our bills and keep this project alive.
Now is the time for Beaumont to step up and others who want to preserve the old buildings. If you enjoy fundraising, working with your hands, getting together with others to share in comradery with others, or putting your talents to work we need you. Donations of equipment, supplies, etc. are welcome.
We have with the help of the National Parks Service and the Texas Historical Commission completed the stabilization of the house, and a new temporary roof has been completed.
