| Old City Park provides many opportunities
for kids and families to experience the history of North Texas. Using the museum's 35+
historic structures as a point of departure, you can take a mental trip back in time as
you witness craft and trade demonstrations, complete "make-n-take" activities and discover
similarities between early Dallas residents and yourselves
