Sam Houston Historical Park

The Sam Houston Historical Park near the city’s visitor centre in Bagby Street provides visitors with a large as life look at Houston history. The 19-acre park features seven of the city’s oldest buildings that have been restored and relocated here. The oldest building is a small 1826 cabin that originally stood at Clear Lake, while one of the more recent is the 17-room home built in 1905 for oil field pioneer Henry T. Staiti.
