About The Heritage Society at Sam Houston Park

The Heritage Society at Sam Houston Park preserves Houston's history through ten authentically restored buildings spanning from before Texas statehood to the early twentieth-century oil boom. Visitors tour these historic houses to see period furnishings reflecting the lifestyles and cultural influences of Houston's earliest residents. The Albert and Ethel Herzstein Museum Gallery displays rotating exhibitions about the city's diverse population, alongside permanent exhibits including the Duncan General Store and a Ford Model T. Current exhibits explore themes like the American Revolution, Latino history, and Texas heritage. Family-friendly activities help visitors learn how Houston grew from its founding. Expert-led programs tell stories of people who came seeking new opportunities. The museum gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday, with hours published on the organization's website. The Heritage Society is located in Houston, Texas, and operates as a nonprofit museum.
