Donated to the society in 1988 by the grandchildren of Katherine Maynard Lobrano, most of the original house is used as a turn-of-the-century museum, but a large addition to the back of the building provides office and storage facilities for research, lectures and social functions for the historical society.

They collect, preserve, and maintain a collection of tens of thousands of documents, photographs, memorabilia, and artifacts designed to help future generations understand their heritage. This non-profit organization takes pride in putting forth every effort to make their extensive library of information publicly available at their headquarters at the Lobrano house and also online. Over the years, membership in the Society has grown from fewer than a dozen to more than a thousand people, making them one of the largest civic organizations on the Gulf Coast.
