The Museums photographic collection contains many original and rare photos of Seguin and Guadalupe County dating as far back as the 1880s. This section represents a small part of that collection. Many of these rare and old photos where collected by Nelda Kubbla to help preserve the photo documentation of Seguin. After the Museum was founded, we have had several donors donate their old photos including portraits, family and group shots and views of the town. The Museum continues to add to its collection in the hopes of preserving the early photographic history of Seguin and Guadalupe County just as Nelda did.
