Hermann Park is located near the medical center in Houston and was named for it's donor, George Hermann, who donated the property in 1914. Hermann traded a team of horses and a buggy for a tract of land in northern Harris County. By chance, it was located in the center of the Humble oil field that was discovered in 1904 and he became a wealthy man.The miniature train has been there a long time, although I think the track has changed since when I was a kid. I believe there is more than one train because I remember one that looked like a diesel, although this is the one that was running today.
