Fort Bend Museum Association
Richmond, Texas

History, Historic House

The Fort Bend Museum presents exhibits on the local history of the Fort Bend County area, with a particular focus on the settlement of Austin's Colony. Educational programs highlight local history for schools, families and adults. Several historic house museums are adjacent to the museum, including the 1840s Long-Smith Cottage associated with the "Mother of Texas," Jane Long, and the 1883 Congressman John Moore Home. The Association partners with the City of Richmond in the creation and operation of the Richmond Historic District and is also the parent organization for the Fort Bend Archeological Society. The Association also manages the 480-acre George Ranch Historical Park as a living history museum (see separate listing).
