Education is a cornerstone of our mission to teach history, preservation, and life on the farm to children.
The Heritage Farmstead Museum’s mission is to preserve a historic Texas farmstead where people can experience and learn from our agrarian roots.
We have a collection of over 10,000 objects and archival materials related to Blackland Prairie life in North Texas. They include home furnishings, domestic accessories, tools, textiles and costumes, artifacts from the Young house, and books.
The Heritage Farmstead Museum's 4-acres contains 15 historic buildings. Tours are available inside the 1891 Wilson House and the Young House. Exhibits inside both houses rotate throughout the year. The grounds contain informational signs and QR codes to enhance your learning of this historic farm.
The Heritage Farmstead Museum is pleased to offer education programs and guided tours for school field trips and programs, focusing on agricultural history during the period of 1891-1936.
