In Short – Ever wondered about the group of houses that seem to spring up along the Allen Parkway end of downtown? You know which ones, you driving along, skyscraper, skyscraper, library, whoa, log cabin? One of those smaller, storefront buildings (facing Bagby) is the Heritage Society, a small museum that offers a short introduction to the early history of Texas.
