The Heritage House of Orange depicts a typical upper-middle-class home from the turn of the 20th century through the 1940s. The two-story home is constructed of prime native pine with a finished attic, balustrade porches, five fireplaces, and a slate roof. The house is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark.

The house was occupied by the Sims family from the time of its construction in 1902 until June 1977, when it was sold to the City of Orange and donated to the Heritage House of Orange County Association, Inc. The Association moved the house from its former location at Eighth and Front Streets to its present location on W. Division and oversaw subsequent restoration.

The Heritage House Museum offers exhibits and educational programs such as lectures, workshops, and craft demonstrations. It also hosts annual special events, including the Christmas Open House, the Past Times Celebration, and Trace of Old Lace.
