Heritage Society
The
Heritage Society is the city's only outdoor, interactive historic museum
and park. Nestled in 10 acres of beautiful green parkland in the heart of
downtown Houston, The Heritage Society boasts 9 historic structures dating
from 1823 to 1905. Each historic structure is authentically restored to
reflect its original magnificence. Each year, The Heritage Society hosts
countless school-aged children and visitors from around the world. Folks
come from near and far to learn about the families and the lifestyles
that inhabited these historic homes - what life was really like in
frontier times for early settlers in Houston. The mission of the
Heritage Society is to preserve the complete history of the community
and region through preservation and restoration of historic structures,
exhibition of historical artifacts and presentation of education
programs which focus on Houston and Harris County's diverse past and its
relationship to the present and future. The Heritage Society was the
first museum in Houston to be accredited by the American Association of
Museums.
The
Heritage Society is funded in part by a grant from the City of
Houston through the
Houston Arts Alliance.
