This is an amazing area of Dallas adjacent to the former Ambassador Hotel (the location of many former Presidents that had visited this location, and it was largely abandoned in the 1980's, intending to be restored to it's former glory) which burned down recently. Within the park exists many glimpses into a life that was very different from today, and a history that exists and is encouraged to be preserved. The 10 entry fee is well worth preserving history, and this site can also be used for wedding events and other catering. Four Corners Brewery opens up after this place closes at 4 pm, and it's not far from downtown Dallas. Some amazing homes are present with some pioneers of industry (a 1880's home is likely the first to have central plumbing with an original bathroom from that time, and had a recent roof flooding that costs upwards of 200k to restore.) Just ask for the amazing crew, Gene and Peggy, whom are helping keep this site alive and constantly improving to maintain it's preservation of history. Literally it's like walking back in time and it reflects some ancestry that I've seen remnants of in the east coast that are rare glimpses into this pre-1900's era.

Wonderful picture of North Texas history between 1845-1910. Charming staff.
Very enjoyable time with a wonderful guide for our field trip. Especially enjoyed the little old school house.
Love coming here. Memories from my childhood all around
I often bring my kids here for historical tours and bonding time, hoping they would cherish and value their heritage. I told them what my father and my grandfather used to do here and I am glad they like it too. If you want to visit this place, especially when you are with kids, avoid crowds such as school trips or else you may lose your child.
