Our self guided tour booklet was well written and most informative. Our walk through Frontier Village was most enjoyable and the homes/buildings were beautifully staged giving you a true flavor of life during this era.There were many exhibits in the building where you sign up for the tour one of which was a Cotton Mill exhibit. Adding to this very pleasant experience was information provided to us by a very down to earth employee of Frontier Village,Rita, who was well versed in assisting me with my request to learn about Denison's Cotton Mill. Thank you for a delightful afternoon spent here.

This is a real stop off point well worth a little detour. There is excellent literature at the site and it is a lovely memorial. You can clearly see the monument from the road , but it is nice to get up close.

Highly recommend for an hour or two break from Lake Texoma. President Eisenhower’s boyhood home is intact and you can view through the windows-each room has a story printed in view. History is always special to me, but free history is even better.
