Fort Bend Museum - Richmond (TX)

5 /5 Nina: The museum is very informative and has hands on activities (the scavenger hunt you can get at the front desk). My little cousins had fun learning and doing the activities. Especially trying to lift the equivalent of a full bag of cotton and smelling the oil. Miss Megan was such a great tour guide. She made everything come to life. The way she explained and told the history was as if she lived in it or knew the families personally.

5 /5 Kody Owen: Anyone who enjoys Texas history, culture and historical artifacts should visit the Fort Bend Museum. It has a fantastic exhibit that details the history of the county. Additionally, you can take part in a guided tour showcasing two beautiful homes that belonged to renowned Fort Bend County families. The tour guides are knowledgeable, professional and very engaging. Time spent here is time well spent.

5 /5 Stephanie Willis: Love this museum! Kid friendly and there are always child-centered, family-centered activities to do. During the summer, there are themed weekend where you can learn about different aspects of Texas history and the people that made it happen. The staff is helpful and very professional. The museum itself is not large, but it is located in a quaint area. The main house was closed to visitors, but it is worth visiting when it reopens.

5 /5 Pam Sulak: We visited the museum and were able to get a tour of the Long-Smith cottage and the Moore home. Both tour guides were very knowledgeable about the history of the familes as well as Texan history. This made for a very interesting tour. Thr dining room.of the Moore home was beautiful. Would recommend you put this on your list.

5 /5 Tomi Shmaisani: Loved finding out about local and State history that was shared at the Fort Bend Museum. My daughters 4th grade class went to the museum on a field trip. What was really great was the amount of hands-on, interactive activities the kids were able to participate in. I would highly recommend a visit to the museum. I personally learned interesting facts from this trip that has me looking into local history.
