Description

The city’s oldest park--an accredited history museum--is home to 38 restored historic buildings spread over 13 acres of parkland on the edge of downtown Dallas. Visitors have the choice of self-guided tours or can reserve a private, docent-led 90-minute tour of the Village’s Settler and Victorian homes, church, school, commercial Main Street, and more. The tour operates seasonally; check the website for the latest offerings and special events. During spring and fall a select number of historic buildings are populated with living history characters who talk with you about their lives, speaking in the vernacular of the 19th century. There are also farm animals on site. The Dallas County Heritage Society oversees the park and organizes events year-round, including the Candlelight Country Fair and an Old Fashioned Fourth of July.
