The Cistern at Buffalo Bayou Park

Highlight • Monument

The Cistern, in the Buffalo Bayou Park in Houston, is one of the first underground drinking-water reservoirs in the city. It was built in 1926 to supply the city with water and is open for the public to explore.

The interior of the cistern consists of a dimly lit chamber with rows of concrete columns. For more information on opening times and prices, visit this website buffalobayou.org/location/the-cistern
