Things to do in Dallas, Texas (TX): The Best History Museums
You may have all heard that everything is bigger in Texas. Well, Dallas does its best to fulfill that promise. You'll find several museums with vast art collections and fascinating specialty museums like The Sixth Floor Museum/Texas School Book Depository, which, though small in size, offers an immense amount of information about the assassination of John F. Kennedy. And of course, visit a local steakhouse for a terrific (and enormous) meal.

1. Dallas Heritage Village at Old City Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 219 reviews
Located on the grounds of Dallas's first city park, Dallas Heritage Village is the perfect place to step back in time. You can immerse yourself in the lives of Texans during the pioneer and Victorian eras. The buildings are all part of North Texas history and give you the opportunity to see and experience nineteenth century life. As you stroll through the grounds, you'll discover how crops were grown, how animals were cared for, how family life progressed, and how the sense of community developed for ordinary Texans over 100 years ago. The Village hosts multiple family events throughout the year and visitors can participate in daily activities led by History Hosts.
Reviewed By patricialF2081TB - DeSoto, United States
Highly recommend. Bought groupon for 4 and there were guides in some of the buildings. It was an overcast day and very few visitors. Remember schools come there so be careful. Covers 1840 to 1899 in Texas history. Paid extra $5 for guided tour in Miller house. Covers log cabins to Victorian homes to shot gun houses. Walking necessary, if disabled would not recommend it.
2. Hall of Negro Life
Museum and exhibit hall focusing on the history of African Americans.
