Crosby Historical Society

Crosby Historical Society The Crosby Historical Society's purpose is to preserve and promote the history of Crosby, Texas. Our FB page was founded in 2007.

We are a group of citizens concerned with the preservation of Crosby-Huffman history. We meet quarterly at the Crosby Brethren Church, 5202 First Street at Church Street, Crosby, TX. Our organization is working diligently to open a museum in the near future. Presently we are renovating the building and preparing for an official opening before the year 2023, Crosby's 200 birthday. At our meetings,

we photograph and tape our older citizens speaking about the early history of our area. Citizens are given an opportunity at our meetings to share stories, artifacts/relics, and pictures. Guest speakers have been brought in on occasion such as James Drury, better known as The Virginian on TV. The group organizes field trips to local historical sites and we are presently trying to preserve and protect our historical cemeteries with historical markers. Participation and attendance is open to everyone even without being a member of CHS. If you would like to be a member, our dues are only $10 a year.

Courtney Griffin asked if we would post this photo of Charles R Drew Elementary students in the early 1970’s to see if anyone can help name everyone in the photo. She said her dad is one of the students but she is not sure which one is her dad. Thanks for your help in advance.

Thank you Tami Simone!
