It is better to preserve than repair, better to repair than restore, better to restore than reconstruct.`
The Comfort Heritage Foundation is very active in the community of Comfort. Traditionally, there are several activities that the Heritage Foundation sponsors. These include:
Awards given annually at the Foundation banquet for outstanding contributions to the preservation of the heritage and culture of Comfort based on the dictum that: `It is better to preserve than repair, better to repair than restore, better to restore than reconstruct.`
The Summertime Tea is the primary fundraising event for CHF that has been a substantial benefit to the foundation and a tradition that has been beloved by the community for many years.
During Christmas in Comfort, youngsters of all ages enjoy coming to the archives to decorate gingerbread cookies donated by membership.
Along with local homeowners, CHF opens the doors to architectural history through public tours of privately owned homes biennially. This Tour of Homes benefits the operations of the Foundation.
Maintains and preserves the Treue der Union Monument and Brownsboro Cemetery.
The Foundation partners with the Comfort Public Library to offer ancestry.com at no charge to its patrons.
Membership meetings with Speaker Series that educate with valuable historical information.
