We are proud to present Juneteenth Tours all month long. Tour 3 historic houses designated by UNESCO as Sites of Memory for their "Slave Route Project" including the Reverend Jack Yates House.

Tours booked Juneteenth weekend, 6/18-6/20, include teacakes and red punch! This was our most popular tour last year.

We have 10 AM, 11:30 AM, 1 PM, and 2:30 PM tours available.

House Beautiful recently published how our tour was a must-see Black History event! The tour consists of three (3) historic structures including the 1847 Kellum-Noble House, 1870 Jack Yates House, and the 1866 Fourth Ward Cottage.

Our tour guides will demonstrate the contrast of the lives of African-Americans living in Houston before and after the Civil War. New research conducted on the 1847 Kellum-Noble House has revealed the names of several enslaved men, women, and children who lived and worked on the property. The history of this home discusses urban slavery in Houston, whereas the Yates House and Fourth Ward Cottage tell about life after Emancipation in the community known as Freedmen’s Town established by African-Americans.

Invite your friends, Girl Scout troops, and women’s groups to come and learn about how some of Houston’s historic houses were inhabited by progressive, educated, and talented women who helped change the shape of property ownership rights, the school system, and the Arts scene in Houston. The weather is also beautiful in March, so feel free to plan a picnic or a tea in the tea room.

Treat the women in your life with a gift that appreciates women!

Tour Hours: Wednesday – Saturday; 10 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 1 p.m., 2:30 p.m., and Sunday by RSVP made in advance (by Friday).
