Tour guide Kian was great :) he was really informative and friendly. I was intrigued by everything I saw and learned.

Lovely collection of classic homes and churches. Awesome displays of turn of the century artifacts used by early settlers and freed slaves. I highly recommend the tour. It's one thing to see these structures from the outside, but you'll be blown away by the interiors of these homes and churches. The tour guy was extremely impressive and his knowledge of the structures as well as Houston history make it worth while.

Just enjoyed a delightful tour of the gallery and museum at the Heritage Society in Downtown Houston. Sheryl, the leader of the docents did a great job of providing information on the houses that are displayed and protected at the site. You can't get a better review of Houston history than by seeing the ten buildings on the site. Not only is the parking free, an almost unheard of delight in downtown Huntsville, but it is easy to get in and out of as well.
Check it out. It's worth a visit.

Fascinating, educational, insightful, and eerie! Was a wonderful experience for the grownups as well as the kids. We toured the museum and three of the historic houses complete with furniture and artifacts of that time. Our young tour guide, Kean, was very knowledgeable and deeply passionate about the history and all the exhibits. Two thumbs up! Will visit again.

A calm oasis in downtown Houston makes for a wonderful afternoon getaway from the skyscrapers and traffic. Here you can find some historical old buildings and artifacts from the past.
There is a literal oasis in the park that divides the modern park from the museum. It's hard not to get lost in the stunning beautifulness of the place. You might even learn a thing or two. Would recommend a visit at least once.
