If you are an SHS graduate and haven't visited your alma mater since graduation, take advantage of this opportunity to walk through the main hall of the "old" SHS building one last time. Reminisce your teenage years as you view the vintage school artifacts on display. Next school year, Fall 2024, high school students will start attending the NEW Sinton High School Building and the current "old" building you came to know and love will soon be gone.
Attend the banquet and celebrate the students being recognized for their academic achievements. Meet and listen to a presentation by the 2024 Alumni of the year. Visit with some of your previous teachers, old classmates and other community members.
Bring your wallets and checkbooks. Bid on some must have items, including trips and pro-sport memorabilia.

The Sinton Texas Historical Museum collects and preserves historical artifacts relating to the early settlers of the Sinton, Texas area and their descendants for the purpose of educating the public and future generations of the local and area history and its part in the story of Texas.
Dream becomes Reality
A small group of Sinton residents were concerned that the history of the community was being lost to the younger generation. In order to preserve the local history the group advocated for a museum and collected artifacts from Sinton and area residents. After some years, a building was finally secured and the museum doors opened to the public in 2011.

Our Collection bin has easy access and is located along North McCall St.
This utility trailer was customized by the students of the Coastal Bend College Welding Department. The trailer was funded by the Port of Corpus Christi.
The museum provides the only collection bin for aluminum cans in the City of Sinton.
The cans are transferred from the collection bin on McCall Street onto the utility trailer. They are then towed by vehicle 5 miles to Camacho's for recycling.
The Bin on Wheels is at times displayed at local and area events to provide individuals opportunity to participate in the first step of recycling.
