My future mother in law hosted a bridal shower for me at the Heard Craig this past weekend. It is an absolutely beautiful art museum and bridal shower venue. The staff on site during the event were very knowledgeable about the history of the home. I loved the private tea they held for us in the main museum, and all of the intricate woodwork and stained glass windows in the home! The Heard Craig is perfect for small gatherings and learning about the history of McKinney!

I cannot stress this enough. . . This is an absolute must! My husband and I took our three year old daughter here during the dinosaur exhibit and every single one of us had an absolute blast.
