Kosse Heritage House & The Heritage Society

The Heritage House was owned by a Mr. Fred Bradley from Houston, who donated the house to the Heritage House Society in 1979.	The Kosse Heritage House located on Hwy 14 just south of Hwy 7 and Hwy 14 serves as Kosse's museum and as a tribute to the history of our "Little Town with a Big Heart". The Heritage House is managed by The Kosse Heritage Society, a 501 (3c) exempt organization organized in 1979. The Heritage House is maintained by donations and volunteer work. Annual fundraising events are held each year.
The house features four historical rooms. Over the years many items such as period furniture, photographs, art, and historical documents have been donated to the old home. The Heritage House also features a "Kosse Hall of Fame" in which local people are commemorated for their great accomplishments and volunteer work in the Kosse community.	A quilting group meets here weekly and volunteers have it open for visitors periodically.
