Board of Directors
The Loxahatchee Guild has been the driving force behind many of northern Palm Beach County’s most significant preservation efforts since its founding in 1981 by Mrs. Anna Laird Minear. Originally established as the Loxahatchee Museum Guild, the group formally adopted its current name in 1988.
The Guild’s first major project was the River Center at Burt Reynolds Park, which became the area’s first local history museum. Since then, members have championed and funded the restoration of key landmarks such as the 1892 Tindall House, the 1898 DuBois House, and the 1915 Jupiter FEC Railway Depot.
Over the years, the Guild has raised more than $1 million for preservation efforts and built strong partnerships with the Town of Jupiter, Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation, the Village of Tequesta, and the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
The Loxahatchee Guild continues to advocate for the appreciation of the past and the protection of our community’s cultural heritage.
Our Purpose
The purpose of the Guild is to support and assist the Loxahatchee River Historical Society and other historical projects in the raising of funds for construction and maintenance of facilities, acquisition and restoration of historical structures, and educational programs.
