Humble Museum
The Humble Museum, at 219 Main Street,
was established in 1976 as a bicentennial project. The
museum features historical displays and items about the
history of Humble and the local area, with many articles and
photographs dating back to the old oil field days of 1903
and 1904.
In 1993, the building was named the
Lillian McKay building in honor of her diligent work in
organizing and operating
the museum.
Teachers and classes are invited to visit
the museum for special tours. Call (281) 446-2130 to
schedule an appointment. Scout troops, clubs and
organizations are encouraged to schedule special times for
their groups to tour the museum.
The McKay Clinic Medical Museum at 110
North Avenue C has recently opened as part of the museum. It
is unique in that it is a medical museum housed in the
building built especially for that purpose. Much of the
original equipment was still in use when the clinic was
closed with the death of Dr. H.E. McKay, Jr. in 1996.
Museum hours are Tuesday through Friday
from 10 am to 4 pm, and Saturday from 10 am to 2 pm. No
admission fee is charged.
Houston shows its devotion
to the arts through a full complement of art museums and critically acclaimed
galleries. Houston's Museum District offers a range of museums, galleries, and
art and cultural institutions, including the City's major museums.
Approximately 4 million people visit institutions in the Museum District every
year. Spend a day in the Museum District and be inspired.
