“The recreational and educational opportunities in Farmers Branch have really kept me active. I joined the Community Recreation Center on day one and all of our facilities are top-notch but all have that hometown, family-friendly ambiance. Farmers Branch truly feeds the mind, body and soul.”

– Tom Laney, Farmers Branch resident

The Historical Park is nestled on 22 acres that trace more than 165 years of proud Farmers Branch heritage. 

The concept of the Historical Park came about in 1981 when the Mayor and City Council appointed the Historical Preservation and Restoration Board to spearhead the movement to develop an outdoor museum whose purpose would be to preserve and interpret the history of Texas and Peters Colony, with an emphasis on Farmers Branch. Since the park opened in 1986, the Historical Park has strived to preserve and share the heritage of North Texas and Farmers Branch. Welcoming approximately 50,000 visitors each year, the Historical Park offers many opportunities from tours and educational programs to special events and lectures.
