The Fourth Ward Cottage represents a vital piece of Freedmen’s Town history, an area founded by formerly enslaved African Americans after the Civil War. This modest wooden structure tells the story of resilience, community, and cultural development in post-emancipation Houston. Preserved within Sam Houston Park, it helps educate visitors about Houston’s African American heritage and the enduring legacy of the Fourth Ward.
