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 attended this with the WorthPoint treasure hunters and we had a fantastic time. Everyone found awesome items to either resell or collect. The area was clean, easy to park with lots of hills. The toilets were interesting with shower curtains over stalls vs doors. That was a bit awkward!
