The Age

The Age is a monthly publication reporting current events of the Chambers County Historical Commission, the Wallisville Heritage Park, and County Historical and Genealogical Societies. The paper was established in Houston in 1871 by D. L. McGary and moved to Wallisville in 1897. It was discontinued in 1908 and then reestablished by the Wallisville Heritage Park in 1979.
