EXTRAVAGANZA SUCCESS!

Thanks to all who attended the WHKE on Saturday, March 16th in Serbin, Texas. With over 100 attendees, the program was a rousing success! Your support of this, both financially and with the investment of an entire day of your life to attend, is truly a testament to your sense of family, history, and your "Wendishness".

We have dedicated a special section of our sister website to coverage of the WHKE. The first topic / presentation appearing here is information provided by Family Tree DNA. With discounts available through May 21st, 2013, be sure to view this information as soon as possible!

Want to test your knowledge of things Wendish, or of information provided at the WHKE? Participate in the challenge of Wendish Trivia! Please visit WendishResearch.org and expand your knowledge today.

Members receive quarterly newsletters. Membership meetings are held quarterly at the museum. Special events include the Annual Wendish Fest held the fourth Sunday in September at the Museum complex and St. Paul picnic grounds in Serbin, Texas.

The Texas Wendish Heritage Museum is operated by the Society to preserve documents and artifacts pertaining to the Wendish culture. It is supported by our members through their annual dues.
