The Heritage Museum of Montgomery County was an excellent midday stop! My family got a full, docent-led tour that took us through the fascinating details about Montgomery County and the City of Conroe. The kids enjoyed the charming, outdoor setting with wooden train car, courtyard fountain, and porch swing. The indoors was fun to explore with hundreds of artifacts, old-fashioned telephones, and a discovery room with throwback toys, animal skins, and dress-up clothes. You can breeze throught the museum in a few minutes, or take your time and spend up to an hour there like we did!
Admission to the museum is free, but you are encouraged to leave a donation of any amount. The museum shares a parking lot with Candy Cane Park, the cherry on top for an afternoon of adventure!
