Old City Park, also known as Dallas Heritage Village, is a historic site located in the Cedars neighborhood of Dallas, just south of downtown. It features a collection of historic buildings and furnishings from the period 1840-1910, representing Texas history. Visitors can explore old houses, including a big White House and slave cabins, with informative placards explaining their origins. The park offers free entry and parking, making it accessible for families, children, and adults who want to learn about the past. The site provides a unique experience to wander through history, with a setting that feels like stepping into an old downtown cowboy movie. It hosts educational programs and special events that showcase preservation and renovations of Texas heritage. The park is a peaceful place to reflect on history, surrounded by authentic buildings from across Texas, with the Dallas skyline visible in the distance. It’s a beautiful spot to remember the past and enjoy a day outdoors.
Its free. It has historical buildings. Only complaint, not all the buildings are open. But the ones that were are pretty cool

I came here with my mom, the people there were absolutely amazing and so sweet. All the history there feels like it comes to life and is so fun. I recommend it so much❤

I’d put this down as a ‘must do’ if visiting Dallas. Amazing park filled with old buildings that have been saved from demolition. The only thing better than walking around the buildings is the warm welcome and hospitality from the lovely ladies in the visitor centre. 10/10.
