While not a traditional museum, Freedman’s Town is a living history district and one of Houston’s most significant African American heritage sites. Established by formerly enslaved people after the Civil War, it features original hand-laid brick streets, historic homes, and cultural landmarks. Walking tours and preservation efforts highlight the area’s contribution to Black history, community-building, and resistance. A must-see for heritage tourists and educators.
