Review & FAQ:
The Heritage Society is Houston's premiere outdoor interactive historical society and park, showcasing nine preserved historic structures within a 10-acre radius of Sam Houston Park that were constructed in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The Society was originally founded in 1954 to preserve the 1847 Kellum-Noble House, located within the park's lands.
Today, it is headquartered at the Heritage Society Museum Gallery, which offers paid-admission exhibits related to the city's civic and architectural history.
Cell phone guided tours are free but do not give access inside the homes. Instructions for cell phone tours are posted in front of each historic building, prompting visitors to call an informational number or download audio from the Society's website elaborating on the history and architecture of structures.
The Heritage Society also offers paid docent-led historic houses tours.
