History Fanatics - Who we are and what we do

Our name comes from a description that was once given to our founding member - Robert - by a history teacher at an event he attended. He was told that he had more passion than any ten other people. He has passed that passion on to others, and founded History Fanatics to showcase our passion and love of history.

Enjoying the camaraderie and teaching others the value of history is what we enjoy. No matter the era, we can all learn from history. We are safe in our presentations and activities, so that all may enjoy.

Preserving history is a commitment that each of us makes. Part of that commitment is educating others about the past. Now, more than ever, this is a crucial role each of us must do.

Keeping History Alive!

History Fanatics is recognized by the IRS as a Texas-based 501c3 charitable organization. As such, we are a mobile museum and currently do not have a fixed location. That means that we are able to go to different events and spread the knowledge. It also makes for some interesting adventures!

Being a 501c3 organization, your donations are tax deductible.

You can do your part in preserving history by making a donation. Of course, we also welcome you should you decide to join us!

Keeping History Alive!

Our mission is keeping our history from disappearing. Our motto is Keeping History Alive! We do this through extensive research. artifact acquisition (purchase or donation), detailed restoration, and public display.

Not only do we find and preserve items, we also listen and tell the stories of the life of the people and the artifacts.

Remembering the Past while leaning into the Future

Art teaches us to dream.

The study of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics gives us the ability to act on our dreams. Included in those studies are the Arts.

Art is more than finger-painting or singing. Art is mathematics set in motion. Painting is mathematics in color. Music is mathematics in sound. Engineering is math in motion. Architecture is engineering with heart.

We must not lose our dreams!
