Dallas Heritage Village
Dallas, Texas

Historic House

The Dallas County Heritage Society, which administers Old City Park; The Historical Village of Dallas is undergoing major change in a number of areas. Since 1995, the institutional emphasis has moved away from its main focus for the first 30 years of its existence- acquiring new historical structures - to doing more with what it already has on hand. More resources are now being devoted to expanding educational programs and staging special events. In addition, the museum is beginning a changeover in how it interprets history to the public. The traditional docent-led tour is gradually giving way to a multi-layer visitor experience that will feature interactions with craft interpreters and self-guided interpretation gained through audio components and written materials.
