Enjoy a great meal seven days a week at Saint Arnold Brewing Company's Beer Garden & Restaurant, where you can check out the Tasting Tour of Texas's oldest craft brewery. Their small crew does everything at the brewery, from brewing the beer, filtering, kegging, and bottling the beer, to selling and drinking the beer. For them, that is a passion, not a job, and they believe that their hard work shows through the beers they produce.

Take a tour through history at The Printing Museum, chronicled by the advent and modernization of printing methods, and learn how the printed word transformed modern culture. Your tour starts with the development of ancient Mesopotamian clay tablets, then the invention of moveable type and Gutenberg's printing press. Along the way, gain a better understanding of how newspaper accounts of major wars, the distribution of the Gutenberg Bible, the Declaration of Independence, and other pivotal documents chronicle the printing revolution and its impact on society.

Join the hustle and bustle of The Market Square Park, the original heart of community activity in downtown Houston. Combining live entertainment, tasty temptations, shady walkways, and dog runs to rival all dog runs, Market Square Park is reminiscent of another era where neighbors gather and enjoy the space they call home.

What began as a hobby has bloomed into one of Houston's most popular tourist attractions, The Beer Can House. Over 18 years, the house disappeared under 50,000 flattened beer cans of different varieties for practical and decorative reasons. The can motif was only one aspect of the now-iconic visionary art environment. The yard is filled with plants and flowers that hang from the trees, occupy ceramic vessels, and grow in raised beds. As the neighborhood has changed, the property remains a time capsule of Houston’s vernacular architecture from the early 20th century, with a surprise around every corner.
