Preserving History, Building Community
Preserving Our Past — Building Our Future
The Palacios Preservation Association invites the community to the Historic Preservation Breakfast Series—a six-part program focused on learning, discussion, and the future of Palacios. The series brings preservation, planning, and community leaders to Palacios to share real-world examples and support ongoing local planning efforts. The series is underwritten by Humanities Texas.

Thank You to Everyone Who Made Today’s Preservation Conversation a Success!
We Support the Hotel Tres Palacios Restoration!
We support JP Bryan’s continued restoration of the historic hotel and the thoughtful improvements that will enhance safety, strengthen our local economy, and keep the waterfront open and welcoming to the public.
Importantly, the beach, Seawall walk, greenspace, 4th and 5th Street access, parking, restrooms, and fishing at the 4th Street Pier will all remain intact.
Add your name to show your support for this project and its positive impact on our community.
