47: Preserving Houston's Past with The Heritage Society

Get ready to dive into the fascinating world of Houston's history with the one and only Mister McKinney! He’s Houston’s most amazing and fun historian and marketing director of The Heritage Society. He joins our host Blanca Quezada to discuss everything The Heritage Society offers visitors, including the historical homes that are beautiful collections on display at Sam Houston Park.

As a passionate historian, he wants everyone to know all about the historical homes, who owned them and how they ended up at the park. He also discusses educational programs for adults, children, and educators, exhibitions on display, calendar of events, field trips that are offered, and volunteering.

Mister McKinney’s goal is to tell Houston’s story so that we can see and learn about what happened in the past and who were the people that helped to create the city that we now live in. He inspires us to treasure the city’s past, and he always takes the opportunity to celebrate Houston’s history and tell its story.

Mister McKinney is also known for his open-air yellow school bus, known as Houston’s History Bus that he uses to provide tours to different historic locations around Houston.
