Exploring History in Houston


In this blog, I will showcase various historic experiences in Houston, that you can experience.

Houston has several locations you can go to, to experience Houston’s history.

There is a downtown historic district that extends from Allen’s Landing (which is a port on Buffalo Bayou, that Houston was founded on) to Market Square Park. It is filled with restaurants, hotels, lofts and nightclubs. The Antioch Missionary Baptist Church is often pointed out in a picture of a historical church, next to a postmodern skyscraper. There is a reason for this, however. It is the first black church founded in the city. Founded in 1875. The Heritage Society, is a park in Downtown Houston, where residential buildings downtown, of a historical importance, were moved to, in order to preserve them. You can take a tour in which you will explore the park and experience its various historic residential buildings. Finally, Bayou Bend, in Memorial Park, is a historic mansion, filled with various pieces of art, collected by Houston Philanthropist, Imma Hogg. Houston has several instances of its history that you can experience today. I hope you go out and experience them!
