If you've lived in Fort Bend County, you would find this museum quite interesting. If anything, it'll help you understand why the schools in the area are named the way they are (Stephen F. Austin, Isaac H. Kempner, B.F. Terry, and Jane Long to be exact.)
Since this part of Texas was colonized in the 1800s, landowners here had plantations with cotton and sugar cane. And since they were part of the confederacy, they did have slaves. So yes, slaves were in this part of the country, in addition to the KKK.
The museum doesn't condone slavery; it was simply letting us know that it existed around these parts. What people should take offense from is that B.F. Terry, though apparently an excellent fighter, was a slave owner and yet he has a high school named after him.
The museum itself is small, but your admission also goes towards 2 house tours. I really enjoyed the Moore mansion. The docent was very good in explaining what everything was and delving deep into the family's history.
If there's anything they could improve on, I would suggest updating some of the museum info, specifically, the surrounding town populations with information from the 2010 US census. Additionally, it's hard to remember the Moore family tree; I think it'd be helpful to have a poster with the family tree to help us visual learners see how everyone is related and who made what changes to the house. read more
