Houston, Texas
Sam Houston Park is located in downtown Houston and is the city's first municipal park. It serves as a living history museum operated by The Heritage Society.
The park is home to a collection of historic buildings moved from their original locations to be preserved. These include the 1847 Kellum-Noble House and the 1891 St. John Church.
Visitors can take guided tours of the homes to learn about life in 19th-century Houston. The park offers a stark contrast between the historic structures and the modern skyscrapers surrounding it.
Dedicated in 1900, the park preserves the architectural heritage of the region. It is a quiet retreat that tells the story of the city's diverse past.
