The Pioneer Memorial Log House Museum in Houston, TX, is a historical site managed by the Daughters of the Republic of Texas. Its main attraction is the Log House, built in 1936 as a pioneer shrine to commemorate Texas' independence from Mexico. The house is furnished with period pieces reflecting the Texas Republic's formative era, providing visitors with a glimpse into early pioneer life.
This museum also features the Texas Heritage Garden, showcasing native plants and trees significant to Texas history. The grounds include a variety of roses, including the Sam Houston Rose, and a tree grown from a walnut harvested where Sam Houston once taught. Additionally, the Log House presents a contrast between modern Houston and its humble beginnings, offering a unique perspective on the city's evolution over time.
Aside from being a meeting place for historical organizations, the Log House serves as an educational site for schoolchildren and visitors interested in Texas pioneer history. Recognized by the Texas Historical Commission during the Texas Sesquicentennial in 1986, the museum continues to preserve and celebrate the rich heritage of early Texas through its exhibits and events.

This looked like a really interesting place from the outside! Unfortunately it's only open two hours a month and we weren't there on the right day. However, there is free parking!
