Learn & Play Through History
The Farmers Branch Historical Park is an open-air and historic house museum nestled on 27 acres that traces more than 175 years of proud Farmers Branch history. Our museum complex consists of over a dozen structures, two original to the property, with the remaining from Farmers Branch and surrounding communities or reconstructed at the park. These historic buildings represent the 1840-1940 time period. The Historical Park welcomes about 100,000 visitors each year and offers many opportunities such as guided tours, educational programs, activities, special events and rentals.
The Historical Park's mission is to collect, preserve, interpret and celebrate the history of the United States and Texas with an emphasis on Peters Colony and Farmers Branch.
