Heritage Museum of Montgomery County
Located inside Candy Cane Park at 1506 I-45 N in Conroe, the Heritage Museum of Montgomery County has numerous indoor and outdoor exhibits.
Frank Johnson, author of "Montgomery County Texas CSA," which is the most comprehensive history every written of the Confederate soldiers from our county, will be signing his books at the Heritage Museum on July 19 from 11a.m. to 2 p.m. His book will be available for purchase at that time.
Meet many of our County’s pioneers, including Dr. Charles Stewart, creator of the Texas flag, and George W. Strake, whose oil discovery turned Conroe into a “rip-roaring” boomtown.
