DeWalt Heritage Center

A project of Fort Bend County and the Fort Bend History Association, the DeWalt Heritage Center is the history hub of east Fort Bend County! In 2006, the historic Dew house was moved three miles down Highway 6 into Missouri City's Kitty Hollow Park. From there, it was renovated and transformed into the DeWalt Heritage Center!

The Center is currently open for tours once a month from 1-3:30 p.m. 

Upcoming Monthly Events:

Join the DeWalt Heritage Center Dewcents for a tour of the Dew House the second Sunday of each month!
