Heritage Farmstead Museum
Heritage Farmstead Museum, Working farm museum in Plano, United States.
Description
The Heritage Farmstead Museum is a working farm museum housed across 15 structures in Victorian style spread over about 4 acres. The collection showcases agricultural equipment and household items that document rural life and domestic routines.
History
The estate was founded in 1891 by Hunter and Mary Alice Farrell, who established a large farm in North Texas. The property gained recognition as a historic landmark in 1978 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.
Culture
The name reflects the farming heritage of the region, and the site shows how families lived on the Blackland Prairie in the 19th century. The focus centers on domestic spaces and tools that mirror daily life of that era.
Practical
The site is located on West 15th Street and is open to visitors on select days with guided tours available. Plan enough time to explore the buildings and grounds, especially if you wish to participate in educational programs or special events.
