House Family EST. 1828
Our House family story is rooted in courage, perseverance, and the promise of a better future. Born into slavery in Mississippi, William House emerged from the Civil War a free man and eventually made his way to Topeka, Kansas. In 1889, seeking land and opportunity for his family, William journeyed into Oklahoma Territory, where he staked a claim to 160 acres of land…
With determination and hard work, William established a homestead, brought his family to Oklahoma, and created a foundation that would extend far beyond those original 160 acres…
More than a century later, William’s greatest legacy isn’t simply the land he claimed—it is the family that grew from it.
Today, generations of House descendants carry forward the strength, sacrifice, love, and resilience of those who came before us. When we gather, we celebrate not only who we are, but who made it possible for us to be here.
