Reviews
"Historic mansion owned by the Hoggs family. Not an over the top display of wealth. The mansion sours on an extremely beautiful piece of land near the Bayou. A rare landscape in Houston proper with undulating hills and water."
"Great day for hanging out. Really good experience understanding some Texas history. The Doson was entertaining and knowledgeable - without the fuss of pretentious. I'm going back to visit the grounds. That's going to be a good day for photography..."
"I worked there 25 years ago and remembered it fondly. I'm glad it hasn't changed much. Very well kept all these years. Glad I had the opportunity to go back. Only improvement is guy at the ticket counter could be friendlier as well as one security guard with short wavy hair, she seemed bothered when we asked a question. Other than that it was a a fun time"
"I photographed an engagement photo shoot at the Bayou Bend Collection and the couple loved the gorgeous museum/home and the beautiful gardens. This is also a perfect place to get married!"
"This place is fantastic! I spent my last afternoon in Houston here before heading to the airport. Since it was a weekday, we had to do a guided tour. They have a 1hr or 1.5hr tour. You get to see more rooms in the longer tour of the home. Our tour guide was absolutely fantastic and amazing. I can’t remember her name but she went to The College of Wooster and I happen to be from Ohio so that was kind of cool. We had her all to ourselves since there was not many people doing tours during the weekday so that was nice. The gardens are really nice. You are allowed to take photos. No selfie sticks."
