Reviews of Sam Houston Memorial Museum (Museum)

Michelle Poague

So much fun! Beautiful place and very educational! My son loved the chickens and ducks! Fantastic!

Lisa Stout

Very nice museum. Very historical, could had spent more time in it.

Steve Hosfield

Very nice and informative presentation of Sam Houston's life set in a beautiful facility and a good amount of artifacts. I do find the claim that the Battle of San Jacinto was the most decisive battle in military history somewhat dubious.

Susan Hoorn

Very enjoyable experience. Organized well. Several structures in addition to the museum building.

Stephen Henderson

The place is very beautiful

History. Artifacts. Texas. If you are Texan you will love. If you are not you will still love.

Meg Baum

Had a good time exploring on Father's Day. Nice adventure of learning for those of us Texans who weren't raised here originally.

Samantha Spencer Robinson

Very peaceful. Fun feeding all the different animals.

Jorge Hernandez

Beautiful grounds, lovely museum of the life of a true American/ Texan patriot! Just remember to take cash, because the museum doesn't accept debit/credit cards.

Jonathan Martinez

Unique.

Will Beauchamp

A must see for any Texas History fan! Loaded with relics from Sam Houston's time and from the events of the forming of the Republic of Texas! A must go to place for a History Road Trip! Highly Recommend & get out of the house and give them a visit!

This is a nice little place to visit, near downtown, when you need to feed your soul with nature. The small lake is home to varied breeds of ducks and lots of turtles. Chickens and roosters run through the park. I noticed that they added a box with laminated info sheets on the parks trees. Visitors are able to borrow which is kinda neat. There are also historical homes and buildings which are interesting to view. A few have automated information available. The lake is kinda stinky which is unpleasant when the wind hits it just right.

Frank Arroyo

The staff was awesome. Super knowledgeable and very helpful.

Lupe Guzman

Nice history, nice buildings, relaxed atmosphere. Learned a lot about Sam Houston.

Yes I visited side of Sam Houston Memorial Museum 3 weeks ago I went there one time before to be able to see someone using a pottery wheel and this time I was there to see a blacksmithing exhibition however the man had cancelled out and Kasem advertise it didn't realize that the man had cancelled out on Museum phone number toll-free but I still had a great time and I traveled around to see and look for places that weren't accessible so my notebook is getting bigger and bigger and bigger and pretty soon hopefully I can get with the engineers and we can see some of these things taken care of for example there is a telephone pole in the middle of a sidewalk right in front of the West plant the power plant for University of Houston I didn't realize it was that was Abby on Sam Houston cuz I've never been there before never been to Cent Sam Houston Museum or Morrell Museum whatever its called but anyway so this Hoveround been taking me everywhere I got it February 8th and I'm sick of the time I had a cold or a head cold so I wasn't able to get out and about for about 2 weeks but ever since then people can't find me at home anyway I hope you've enjoyed my review the Fort Sam Museum Memorial Museum is full of fine things that happen and there's no charge whatsoever ever another place you might want to go is the art museum on 11th Street almost to Arby's was actually across the street from Arby's. Activities there are also free and then of course a musician has a gravesite I believe it's off of Avenue I between 10th and 11th anyway so there enjoy yourself Huntsville has a lot to offer

Created for the TX centennial the Sam Houston Memorial Museum is a beautiful campus dedicated to preserving the memory of Sam Houston. There is a collection of 19th century buildings, including two former residences of Houston. Also on the property is the rotunda which houses many historical items belonging to Sam Houston. Bring some money for admission and the gift shop to enjoy a wonderful day in Huntsville. Kids will like the ducks, chickens, and turtles. Tree enthusiasts will appreciate the canopy.

Insightful exhibits to Sam Houston, the man.

Michael G

Really great place to visit for a quick history of Sam Houston. The museum is laid out well and has plenty of historic things to see. We frequent the, what we call, “duck pony” next door. Always shady and cool even during the summer. The surrounding houses in the park are full of history and if you time it right they have weaving, pottery, blacksmith, and other demonstrations. This place is definitely worth a visit if you are in town.

Mariana L

Great place to learn about our history.

Ashlei Evans

The San Houston Museum is so beautiful and cohesive as a museum. Most locals think it is literally just a park. There are three historical building of Sam Houston and Texas. The staff get in character and dress in period clothes of 1860. Great for the whole family. I had my wedding here

Gilli Rodriguez

Excellent place to learn bout Sam Houston

Desi Green

The museum is okay, but definitely check out the buildings set up set up to look at how homes around here used to look inside. It is an interesting expiriance.

Good visit. Super interesting displays

Ogie Bangiev

30th Annual Folklife Festival - Enjoyed a fun variety of live entertainment and cultural activities for every family member. The Sam Houston Memorial Museum’s fifteen-acre grounds was transformed from a peaceful setting into a bustling frontier settlement where you can watch historical reenactments, listen to music, shop for crafts, wares, and food, or simply stroll the same land where Sam and Margaret Houston lived and where their children played.

Tirina Colbert

Tour was awesome

Jessica Goodman

Love taking my grandkids to feed the ducks and chickens!

Trevor Williams

Very nice little park to walk around. There were a lot of fun ducks and chickens. Didn't get to see any of the museum because it was closed for the day, but the grounds and outbuildings were very cool.

Avery Glynn

I haven’t been to the actual museum but I’ve been to the duck pond a gazillion times. Bring apple pieces or crackers. The ducks and roosters love the stuff. Watch out for the goose though, he’s a little grouchy sometimes.

Robert Voce

Very interesting to see and learn about Sam Houston and how Texas got started.

Ulises Moreno

Great place to have lunch

Teresa Kach

Beautiful grounds, lovely museum of the life of a true American/ Texan patriot! Just remember to take cash, because the museum doesn't accept debit/credit cards.

Curtis Densmore

A small but focused historical museum. If you like Texas history, you will enjoy this museum. It tells Sam Houston's life story and about 1/3 of the museum is dedicated to the Texas Revolution. If you take your time and read most of the exhibits, you'll probably complete it in 30-45 minutes. The volunteers are very friendly and knowledgeable. They have plenty of stories and artifacts for kids to pick up and examine, like musket balls and old playing cards. Don't forget to go downstairs and see the diorama of the battle at the Alamo. Then enjoy the park the museum sits in.

Angie Mcgough

We go here once a week.

james taylor

I go every week with my son and wife to feed the ducks and chickens corn. Fun place to take a 2 year old who happens to have an obsession with ducks.

Idalia Hernandez

It's gorgeous but I wish people would be civilized humans instead of animals and throw away their trash instead of tossing it on the floor. There's trash cans all over the premises! Like seriously, did their mother never teach them how to pick up after themselves.

Kathy Taylor

Awesome place to visit and learn about Texas history.

marvin dees

Waste of time and money
