Video: The Katy Heritage Park Tour

In 1979 a group of concerned citizens who wanted to save the old MKT depot, which was slated for demolition, formed the Katy Heritage Society. Since that time, the Katy Heritage Society has been working as a charitable organization to fulfill one mission: to further educational and cultural development of the community by preserving and restoring historical landmarks and documents.

Today, The Katy Heritage Society opens our historic homes for free public tours, we host free community concerts from our bandstand, conduct tours for students and tourists and serve as a key source for historic information and research in the area.

We open our historic homes at Katy Heritage Park free to the public, we also operate the MKT museum in the old Depot. We own our homes and are responsible for all maintenance and the operation of our facilities. We also distribute educational literature and newsletters, take outreach programs into schools and private groups and have many working projects to protect and preserve the historic resources of the Katy area for the use, education, enjoyment and economic benefit of present and future generations.
For almost 30 years, The Katy Heritage Society has been dedicated to preserving and protecting Katy’s past by acquiring and maintaining historic structures and working protect local landmarks. Today we own three historic homes, the old Post Office, the Humble Mess Hall and a bandstand at Katy Heritage Park. We also own a caboose and operate our museum at the MKT Depot in Railroad Park.  Our structures and park provide visitors with an entertaining and educational experience.
