Near Candy Cane Park in Conroe, the Heritage Museum of Montgomery County has been a well-liked institution for decades. It brings the county's history to life for tourists of all ages and remains an essential educational resource because it presents local heritage and holds interesting lecture series.
Gloria White, President of the Museum's Board, loaned the museum a collection of vintage Black magazines to be displayed in observance of Black History Month. Another display included photographs and anecdotes from Tamina, a historic Freedmen's Town close to The Woodlands. These rotating displays give new insights into regional and national history every three months.
Additionally, the museum hosts a lecture series called the Intimate Gathering Series, which takes place at the Strake Gray House on campus.
Maureen Joseph discussed African dress traditions during the February session. These workshops, which have only 45 seats available, provide a unique chance to interact with history.
The museum was established in 1985 thanks to the Conroe Service League's efforts and a kind contribution from Carolyn Meadows Walker, who gave her family a house to host the exhibits. The Grogan/Cochran house, the Strake/Gray house, and an oil worker bunkhouse are among the buildings that currently comprise the museum.
The Heritage Museum is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday. Reservations are required for group tours. For additional details, go to heritagemuseum.us.
