Made Possible By: The Heritage Society’s exhibits, tours, events, and programs are funded in part by a grant from the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance. Funding for these grants has been provided by Humanities Texas and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) as part of the federal ARP Act. Some of the exhibits and programs are also sponsored by the Summerlee Foundation and the Bybee Foundation.
Join us Wednesday, November 5, 2025, from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Forest Club, for Evening of Heritage 2025: Moving Forward by Looking Back. This year’s signature presentation, More Than a Store – Three Decades of Tumultuous Changes 1960–1990: A Series of Vignettes, invites you to step into pivotal moments of Houston’s retail history. Renowned author Robert T. Sakowitz will guide guests through Ultimate Gifts in the Golden Age of Catalogues, weaving together personal anecdotes and cultural milestones that defined an era of innovation and community spirit. Special thanks to Brian H. Teichman who is chairing the fundraiser.
