HUNTSVILLE, Texas (KTRE) - The Steamboat House, the final home of Sam Houston, is usually closed to the public, but today, on the 160th anniversary of his death, ceremonies honoring Houston were held, and the house was opened up. Ceremonies began at the Sam Houston Museum where the Huntsville Masonic Lodge gave a tribute prayer to Houston, who was a Mason himself. Then, the Alabama Coushatta tribe gave a tribute chant to Houston in front of the Steamboat House. He was a longtime friend of the tribe and they still recognize that friendship today.
