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. Upcoming open dates include: September 15, October 13, November 10 and December 1, 2019

Upcoming Monthly Events:
