Come and learn about the history of what once was one of Baytown’s most exclusive neighborhoods.

Come and hear Lacy Johnson, a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist for her memoir “The Other Side” and essay collection “The Reckonings,” tell the story of the neighborhood that existed on the current site of Baytown Nature Center.
