History, Historic House

The Pioneer Memorial Log House Museum is uniquely situated between the Texas Medical Center and Houston's Hermann Park. By latest count 6.4 million people per year visit the park.

Currently, a new entrance to the zoo is being built directly across from the facility.

The Log House was built over 60 years ago by the San Jacinto Chapter, Daughters of the Republic of Texas. It was first used as a hospitality center for the Texas Centennial.

Many people who have lived in Houston most of their lives are still unaware of the Log House's existence. One of the greatest problems we face is that of public visibility. We need tofind ways to encourage people to come. The membership of the Chapter (the Museum) is more that willing to expand the hours.
