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 125th birthday - head to the History Corner for the many stories this old home has to tell.
The Caroline Gilbert HInchee House is more than just a Historical Property. This house IS history and our first priority is to restore it to the community. When we have completed the restoration and we have the occupancy certificate from the City of Beaumont, the house will become a Community Center. There are so many programs we can implement. Any profit from activities, fundraisers, and programs will be put back into the house so it will be able to support itself.
We totally rely on individual funds, grants and volunteer work.
Volunteers are needed to work on the house, money is needed to work on rooms and to raise money for electric, plumbing, and paying our minimal bills, all positions in our organization are unpaid. See our donation page for more information on donating.
Thank you in advance!
