The Heritage Society

Learn about Texas' biggest European immigrant group through architecture, furniture, and trades.

Between 1865 and 1900, about 40,000 Germans arrived in the Lone Star State; the single largest European immigrant group at the time. Within a generation, a wide swath of the state from the coastal plain to the Hill Country included dozens of German-settled towns.

There are many examples of German heritage still visible on the Texas landscape, from dance halls and shooting clubs to churches and schools, and this legacy continues to exert a strong influence on modern-day Texas. Enjoy the stories behind the artifacts, furniture collections, and structures of 1847 Kellum-Noble House, 1868 San Felipe Cottage, and 1891 St. John Church that are all preserved in Sam Houston Park.
