🌟 Join Us for the 2026 Heritage Luncheon Honoring John L. Nau III! 🌟
We are thrilled to celebrate one of Texas’s most dedicated champions of historic preservation at The Heritage Society’s annual Heritage Luncheon on Thursday, February 26, 2026, at River Oaks Country Club from 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM.
This year, we proudly honor John L. Nau III, whose decades of leadership and service have shaped the preservation of Texas history and strengthened heritage tourism across our state and nation. His commitment to protecting historic places and stories has left an extraordinary legacy — one we are excited to recognize with the inaugural Texas Heritage Medal.

Proceeds from this luncheon directly support The Heritage Society’s mission to preserve Houston’s historic buildings, safeguard more than 23,000 artifacts, and share the diverse stories that shaped our region.
