Reviews of The Heritage Society at Sam Houston Park
"Enjoyed two tours while visiting the Heritage Society. We booked the Historic Houses and German influence tours back to back so we got to see 6 properties from slightly different eras, levels of affluence and backgrounds. The guide was very knowledgeable and the buildings unique to the area. The guide said recognition by UNESCO was near. A treasury of Houston history in the shadows of skyscrapers. Amazing these buildings were saved and protected."
"Came with a small group of friends and a baby to visit the museum and do the walking tour. It’s very reasonably priced at $15/person. The actual museum has a small fake grocery store and very small exhibit of the rodeo and JFK which was somewhat underwhelming. The walking tour of three houses was in BlCk History Pre and Post Emancipation and was the best tour I have ever been on. Our tour guide, Cian, is not your average bored volunteer or teenager. He is an actual researcher doing archival work and focused on telling the story of Houston through enslaved people’s eyes. He is a wealth of knowledge and our fellow tour participants provided great perspective as well on the value of Juneteenth to them, etc. Highly recommend the tour - actual museum was so so. The museum relies on volunteers and grants and really needs further public support to continue its mission. Parking is easy and it’s a UNESCO recognized site."
"One of my favorite parks in Houston. Beautiful. Peaceful and near the heart of the city with a great museum and tours of the houses in the park."
"A really nice exploration into Houston’s past. The tour is$15/person and the museum is $5 - both are less for seniors and children. The tour takes a little over 1 hr and gives a detailed look at 3 houses on the museum site. Overall, tour was well done and the homes are well preserved and furnished. The grounds are well kept and a popular spot for special events."
"This place Sam Houston Park is one of the best and exciting get aways in the city of Houston. The historic homes are simply amazing. Being in the pacific area of Jack Yates and others preserved homes, take your mind back into the yesteryear. This particular park is in a nearby tranquil and remote area very close to our downtown library. Their is one Confederate monument nestled way back in a corner area. With that being said, let me say I am a black male who cherishes history (without knowing where we have been, how can I know where we are going) with a passion. Flying Confederate flags over & displaying monuments on federal, state and local governments buildings sites,...I disagree. But as far as people having these flags and relics in there vichles and on their private properties...is their business. Due to these things being part of their heritage, does this make them out to be bad individuals or should one hate the memories of their great, great, greater grandfather for being a Confederate Soldier? NO IT DOESN'T! SOME OF THE BEST PEOPLE I HAVE MET IN LIFE HAD CONFEDERATE MEMORABILIA. When anything is used out of proportion it can create problems. As I lean back toward this park, I propose that all monuments of The Confederacy that has been removed from public lands should be placed in a place to preserve history. We don't want to relive history but, however, we don't need to destroy it. Put the areas of the Heritage Society in Houston Texas on your place to visit list. You shall enjoy."
