Dallas Heritage Village at Old City Park
9am –
1pm
|
 |
Although Dallas is known primarily as a modern and progressive city, it
also has an impressive heritage. This fascinating tour will bring
into focus that special sense of history, and show some of Dallas’s most
enduring beauty.
Situated on 14
acres, Old City Park demonstrates the lives of the early pioneers.
Thirty-seven structures, many with period furnishings and craft
demonstrations, interpret the life of the North Texas settlers from 1840
to 1910.
The park’s
collection of lovingly restored historic buildings includes houses
ranging in style from simple log dwellings to elaborate Queen Anne
landmarks, as well as a train depot, hotel, church, school and a small
commercial
complex.

The second part of
the tour will take guests on a ride through the Swiss Avenue Historic
District. This street is a fascinating collection of
early-twentieth century housing styles, and it was Dallas’ first
prestigious address. The beautiful mile-long, tree-lined boulevard
provides guests with the opportunity to see avant-garde Prairie-style
dwellings as well as many eclectic Era styles. Guests will stop at
the Aldridge House and drive by the Wilson Block to experience
first-hand how Dallas’ early civic leaders lived.
Lastly we will travel to downtown Dallas for lunch. |
