The Heritage Society at Sam Houston Park

The Heritage Society at Sam Houston Park preserves ten historic structures on a landscaped campus in downtown Houston, spanning architecture from the pre-statehood era through the early twentieth-century oil boom. A 501(c)(3) museum organization dedicated to telling the diverse history of Houston and Texas, the campus also serves as a setting for weddings, receptions, and private events. Rental spaces range from the Gothic Revival-style 1891 St. John Church to open-air settings like Connally Plaza and the Bagby Street Front Patio, both backed by downtown Houston's skyline. The 1847 Kellum-Noble House, the oldest building on its original foundation in the city, hosts smaller dinners and receptions, while the Museum Gallery and Tea Room offer indoor space for larger gatherings.
