THE GREAT OUTDOORS
Sam Houston Park is an oasis of living history and wide-
open greenness amid modern monuments to corporate and civic
institutions. Surrounded by the skyscrapers and freeways this park
exemplifies Twenty-first Century urban life just a short walk from
City Hall. The 19-acre park has been the home of The Heritage
Society since 1954, with eight historic structures including a log
cabin and St. John Church, dating back as far as 1823. The park
and the museum are open to the public, but tours of the historic
buildings must be arranged through the Heritage Society.
