Sam Houston Park was Houston's first public park, originally established on 20 acres near the city's downtown in 1899. The Park, named in honor of Mayor Sam Brashear, is home to the historic Kellum-Noble House, saved in 1954 as the result of citizen activism efforts and open to the public as a living history museum. Other historic buildings within the park's lands can also be toured as part of guided historical society tours, including the 1823 cedar plank Old House, the 1858 Fourth Ward Cottage, the 1859 Nichols-Rice-Cherry House, and the 1870 Yates House. Recreational areas include an open green space for picnics and pick-up sports games. Each year, the park hosts an annual Christmas candlelight tour, presenting historical reenactors and historic house tours with period decorations.
