I think this place is some what hard to find if you are not familiar with the area. Its nice to see and touch a piece of history and get an idea what it was like 100 years ago. More

We stopped in 1 afternoon, but it was almost closing time. They allowed us to walk around and take pics. The next day we went back and toured all the buildings. It was well worth the return trip. More

The park is organized like a little town with its shops and school and church etc. the setting is very nice the so are the buildings. Personally I like these kinds of attractions that take you back to... More

Don't plan to visit for no more than 2 hours. Having grown up in a small town and lived in a historic structure, toured many historic structures I didnt find it all that interesting. I think this would have more appeal to someone who has never been to historical structures. More

We went here on a field trip for my son's class and learned a lot about life 100 years ago. It is hard to believe the difference a hundred years makes. More

If you like history, you will love this place! It shows you what Dallas was like a hundred years ago. The staff was wonderful. We went during the week, so it wasn't very crowded. The guide stayed with us all day and told us about each and every building and the history behing the village. It was fantastic. I will... More

You'd think a park in Dallas would allow cameras! But the folks that run this park don't allow "professional" cameras. They explained that they didn't want anyone making professional photos of their exhibits. So if you have a nice camera leave it at home, point n shoot is OK, but not cameras with professional lens - really! you can't take... More

It is located in town and there's a large parking area nearby. The park is a collection of authentic buildings from across the state. You can visit the interiors of some of the buildings and live the experience of living or shopping in a 19th century building. The park is completely run by volunteers and, sometimes, some of the exhibits... More
