🎂🤘🏼HAPPY 190TH BIRTHDAY, HOUSTON!

Today we took on the road to celebrate our city in the most SO HOUSTON way possible — LIVE from the in the heart of downtown!🌇

We stepped inside the 1847 Kellum-Noble House, the oldest surviving building in Houston still standing on its original site, and got a Houston history lesson from — with a few surprise guests along the way!

And the celebration isn’t over! 🎉 Saturday, Aug. 29, Houston is invited to a FREE birthday celebration with live music, performances, family fun, history and plenty of HTown pride.

190 years of history. One incredible city. Happy early Birthday, HTown! 🤘🎂❤️
