Founded in 1954, The Heritage Society has played a vital role in preserving Houston’s historic sites and stories.
The Society emphasizes sustainable practices in its preservation efforts, promoting awareness of environmental impact.
The Heritage Society is a Houston-based organization that preserves and interprets historic houses and cultural heritage through guided tours, museum exhibits, and educational programs. Located in Houston, Texas, the organization offers docent-led tours of three historic houses, museum admission with gallery access, and a range of curated experiences for students, families, and adult audiences. Programs include in-person historic house tours such as the Time Travel to Houston’s Past tour, themed tours like the Women’s Historic House Tour, and focused narratives including the German American Heritage History Tour and specialized Black History Tour. The Heritage Society presents interactive school programs — including Trunk Shows designed for elementary students and hour-long School Field Trips that visit three historic structures and include courtyard lunch options. Public programs extend to the Lunch-and-Learn Speaker Series and virtual offerings through the Online Program Ticket – Lunch and Learn, which combine expert talks with chat and breakout networking. Special events include the From Plantation to Emancipation – The Freedom Experience (a dramatic tour led by actress Kijana Wiseman, offered every second and fourth Saturday) and the Annual Candlelight and Carols Tour on December 12 and 13. The museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with free admission for children 6 and under. The Heritage Society operates tours and programs that connect visitors and students with tangible artifacts, historic architecture, and curated storytelling to deepen understanding of Houston’s diverse past.
