Welcome to the website of the Col. Gustav Hoffmann Camp of New Braunfels, Texas.
We are an historical, patriotic, and non-political organisation with membership open to all male descendants of any veteran who served honourably in the Confederate States' armed forces. We assist members and the general public in genealogical research of their ancestors, preservation work such as the raising of funds for repair on statues and other monuments, mark graves, encourage living history presentations & battle re-enactments and meet monthly to discuss military, societal, and cultural topics germaine to the period encompassing the War for Southern Independence, 1861-1865. We are international and organised into divisions, brigades and camps.

The Sons of Confederate Veterans is a genealogical-historical organization dedicated to preserving the history and honoring the
memory of our Confederate ancestors. The SCV is the direct heir of the United Confederate Veterans,
and the oldest hereditary organization for male descendants of Confederate soldiers. Organized at Richmond, Virginia, in 1896,
the SCV continues to serve as a historical, patriotic, and non-political organization dedicated to insuring that a true history
of the 1861-65 period is preserved.
