- The Museum of Printing History presents the exhibition Greetings From Houston: Vintage Postcard Views of the City. On view September 1, 2011 February, 4, 2012. Opening Reception Thursday, September 1, 6-8pm. A postcard can be many things - a souvenir from your travels, a snapshot of a location in time, or a personal message to a loved one. So much of the history of Houston is contained in The Heritage Societys collection of over 120 postcards. The variety of images include parks, like The Heritage Societys very own Sam Houston Park, familiar structures like the San Jacinto Monument, the Esperson Building and Rice University, and places long gone like the City Auditorium and the Hotel Brazos. Postcards are loaned courtesy of the Heritage Society, Houston, Texas.
