Houston in 1917
by Mike Vance
The Heritage Society Tea Room
Free for members, $5 for non-members
With Houston in 1917, you will learn much of what to expect if you ever time travel back 100 years in the Bayou City. There will be images and details about who lived here, what they did for work and even where they shopped. The lecture ends with the real story about the biggest event of 1917- the Camp Logan Riot.
