It is a super nice park, to walk or ride a bike. The different models of houses that were in the past are built with a replica of a church, a lake with turtles and ducks. a fountain. Nice, clean and quiet place.

Beautiful park with majestic trees and historic buildings relating the history of Houston since it's founding in the early 1800s. The museum gallery has rotating exhibitions that are most informative!

It was an honor to take a tour with Reverend Jack Yates' great granddaughter Martha Whiting-Goddard. What an exciting day to see The Heritage Society being recognized by UNESCO for its historic houses that tell the stories of emancipation and life in Houston's 4th Ward thereafter. It was good to see all the City leadership recognize diversity and support Houston's history.

Not normally if you have a small group but it’s always good to check to make sure there isn’t a group tour scheduled for when you want to come.
