Hispanic Tours

Hispanic history tours take you to the oldest Hispanic serving church in Houston dating to 1912, the oldest church that serves Hispanics that was built in 1901, but only began serving Hispanics after World War II, and several other churches. Tours include cemeteries, a former Hispanic shopping mall, Latin American owned and operated businesses, inspirational murals, traditional Hispanic high schools and middle schools on the east and north side, and parks that have been centers for Hispanic activities and festivals such as Magnolia, Milby, Moody, Hidalgo, and Mason Park. We go through Hispanic barrios (neighborhoods) in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 6th Wards, such as Magnolia Park and Denver Harbor, and see community centers such as the old Pan America Ballroom, Ripley House, and Sociedad Mutualista Benito Juarez Casino Hall from 1928. We'll look at historic and contemporary homes in Hispanics neighborhoods including Harrisburg, Eastwood, Stude, and Woodland Heights.

If you wish, we can stop at a panaderia (bakery) and/or have lunch at a historic Hispanic restaurant, a scenic restaurant that overlooks the Houston Ship Channel in a Hispanic area.
