The New Braunfels Conservation Society is a nonprofit organization located in New Braunfels, Texas, dedicated to preserving the city's cultural heritage and historic sites. The society was founded in 1964 by a group of residents concerned about the rapid development of the city and the potential loss of its historic buildings.

One of the society's notable achievements is the restoration of the Lindheimer House, a historic home built in 1852 by Ferdinand Lindheimer, a renowned botanist and one of the city's early settlers. The house, which was in a state of disrepair, was restored to its original condition and is now open to the public as a museum showcasing life in 19th-century New Braunfels.

Another important project of the society is the Wagenfuehr house, a historic home built in 1870 by German immigrant August Wagenfuehr. The house was threatened with demolition in the 1980s before the society stepped in and purchased it. The society restored the house to its former glory, and it is now open for tours and events.

The New Braunfels Conservation Society also manages the Pioneer Village, a living history museum consisting of several historic buildings that have been relocated to the site. The village offers visitors a glimpse into life in early Texas, showcasing artifacts and exhibits from the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Overall, the New Braunfels Conservation Society plays a vital role in preserving the city's rich history and cultural heritage for future generations.
