The Sam Houston Memorial Association is a non-profit organization located in Maryville, Tennessee, dedicated to preserving the legacy of one of America's most iconic figures, General Sam Houston. The association was established in 1937 by a group of local citizens who recognized the importance of Houston's contributions to American history and sought to create a lasting tribute to his memory.

The association's main focus is the Sam Houston Schoolhouse, a historic one-room schoolhouse where General Houston received his early education. The schoolhouse was moved to its current location in Maryville in 1927 and has since been restored to its original condition by the association. Visitors can tour the schoolhouse and learn about Houston's early life and education.

In addition to the schoolhouse, the association also maintains the Sam Houston Birthplace, a historic site in Rockbridge County, Virginia, where Houston was born in 1793. The site features a log cabin similar to the one Houston was born in and offers visitors an insight into the early frontier life of America.

The Sam Houston Memorial Association offers educational programs and events throughout the year, including lectures, tours, and reenactments. The association is dedicated to preserving Houston's legacy for future generations and promoting a greater understanding of American history.
