Buffalo Soldiers National Museum

Kids love the cowboy theme and this museum is packed with authentic regalia from the old west. The Buffalo Soldiers are a part of our Texas heritage and one the museum is one of Houston's cultural treats.

Houston’s Camp Logan was one of the places where Buffalo soldiers were stationed while they served their time in the Army and some eventually settled in this area.

They were sent to the West to fight Indians and protect settlers, cattle herds, and railroad crews. It was their constant adversary the Indians who coined the name of Buffalo Soldiers.

These brave fighting men were a integral part of the U S military until the 1950s when the units were officially disbanded.
