I love this place and the nearby gardens. It's one of the nicest public places for a walk in the area. Few people seem to know about it, so it's also nice and quiet. The historical buildings are worthy of a visit too; we take our out of town guests there. The guides are great to cater to kids as well. In the spring and fall, the Rose Garden is spectacular. I almost feel I should keep this place a secret, but go ahead and enjoy it and while in neighborhood, check out the fabulous restaurants in the neighborhood.
A must-see historical park that is like nothing I have ever seen before. It is like stepping back in time as you are transplanted into the 1900's. The grounds are beautifully maintained. You have to pre-schedule a private tour to see the inside of each building. Plan on spending a while there since there is so much to see. Benches are available to rest and there is a checkers game set-up at the Texaco Gas Station that is can be played.
We came on Saturday for a walk after brunch. The park itself is not big and only a few people were here to jog at noon. The houses are historical houses built here (a few are replicas) such as a church, a schoolhouse, with furnishings inside. However we were only able to peek from the windows because they’re only open for visit on weekdays and with a guide. So I might come later after booking a tour online ($5 fee). You can find pretty things in the museum store such as colorful rock candies, beeswax candles etc.
Have grown up going to the historical park and have always loved it. It’s so peaceful and beautiful. And many events are held there throughout the year. The fourth of July celebration and firework show is always fantastic year after year! My family and I also attended the day of the dead celebration they held at the church this year, for the first time. It was such a lovely way to honor those who have left us from this world. I’m beyond grateful the Historical park held an event like this. So much history that is being preserved at this park with its historic buildings. And so many great memories are being made for many. The staff are also always friendly and helpful. Thank you guys for all you do. I can’t wait to be back!
We always come here for the Christmas lights but decided it was something to do and it's free. There are like trails between the houses. It's just a nice place to take pictures learn a lil history or have a pick nick. We enjoyed our visit even though it was a lil hot that day.

Park which covers vast area to play and have fun. We have a very good evening and lots fun with this place. Only disappointment is the Hot air balloon. waited for a long time but not aired due to bad weather. Let me check for next year.

Historical park, indeed! The Victorian house, Depot, General store and gas station reminds me of scenes from many old cowboy movies. All houses were locked, so we could not get a look inside. The guard said that they are offering guided tours 3 days a week. I can't wait to register. Kudos to the maintenance team. This place will encourage you to visit over and over again. Not much activities for kids, but they sure will enjoy this place. It is a shame that I missed this place all these time being in Dallas. This place encourages me to look for other historical places in the area.
Awesome place to take a walk or have a picnic. Beautiful gardens, well maintained. The cleanest and nicest bathroom I've seen at any park ever. There are trails connecting this park to several other farmer's branch attractions. The kids had a blast and we will definitely be back.
