On Saturday, March 7 we are hosting a tour of Camp Logan's archaeological sites located inside Houston's Memorial Park. Historians and archaeologists Louis Aulbach and Linda Gorski will be your guides as you explore the area.

Recent archaeological studies have uncovered new information about the soldiers who once lived and trained on the current Memorial Park grounds. This hike through Memorial Park will take guests to some of Camp Logan’s archaeological sites.
