Awesome place to take a walk or have a picnic. Beautiful gardens, well maintained. The cleanest and nicest bathroom Ive seen at any park ever. There are trails connecting this park to several other farmers branch attractions. The kids had a blast and we will definitely be back.

Park is great, love the history and the classic trucks but to many people too close without masks.

Three stars for two reasons. One, there is never anybody here for further information when you go. Two, finish out the open space in the property with more exhibits. Otherwise, the exhibits and buildings are meticulously restored and maintained. The city does an excellent job of keeping these historical buildings in great condition. Thank you for saving the history of locsl FB.

Its very nice and relaxing but buildings are only open during tours and hours of operation clash with working hours.

I’m with ManandBride.com and DJ’ed a wedding here recently. It was perfect for a private event. I loved the grounds, with the chapel and garden. We all had a blast!

Came to an owl event put on by the Blackland Prarie Raptor Center and it was fantastic! Very eventful, educational, and fun!

This is a fun area to wander around and to be able to get a glimpse into the past. Among the buildings to be seen are a church, a school house, a garage, a general store, a mud house, and a caboose. Many of the buildings reminded me of things I had seen on Little House on the Prairie. While we were there, people were setting up for a music and movie in the park night.

Perfect event! Amazing Music and Social distancing Can be successful

Went to a bluegrass festival and had a great time. Nice little historic place.

It is nice place to take short relaxing walk and grt your mind refreshed

This is my sanctuary, the best job and most amazing down to earth people working with me. This weekend was our Halloween celebration and these guys built the haunted hedge just for this one day celebration. The care and specificity of this park true to time in history and all this for people to visit. A town of historical buildings and history lessons up close and personal. Farmers Branch City in a park is my favorite place in the metroplex and the amazing flowers, birds, landscaping, roses, rawhide Creek, the trails immaculate. Everything perfect like the forest nestled in the city.

This place reminds me of the historical sites on the east coast, which usually cost money to see, and often you have less to explore openly (though I suspect most of these exhibits can normally be seen through the windows which are hard to see without long-exposure images such as ones I uploaded and plan to add to my background image collection.) A lot is available to explore and this is the perfect place to showcase history; and I have no idea why I waited so long to check it out despite knowing about it for some time now. The General Store also reminds me of photos I came across when researching one my family would have owned from around the same time period (though just before the end of the 19th century) and it was great to photograph it, and even the buntings look like period pieces; in fact it reminded me of a video game called Bioshock Infinite which was turn of the century based, and used a lot of patriotic symbolism. Dont hesitate, it has something for everyone, and I plan to find out when events are taking place.Update: While attending a Star Party, just before dark, I snapped some photos with my cell phone (I forgot to bring my D-SLT camera.) Ill admit that I can capture images with my cell phone that I cant get with my D-SLT (DSLR variant.) I cant really say its better but it does tend to make it easier (most great photos are achieved using a tripod, and due to lens design you can get much easier compositions, but it becomes less contrasty and has lower depth of field, hence a shallower focal plane.) — at Farmers Branch Historical Park.Update: baseball

We had a private tour, and it was absolutely wonderful. Our guide was very informative and gracefully answered all of our questions without rushing us in any way. We are already thinking of returning for their Christmas tour. Its a must see while in Farmers Branch.

You can experience the history of farmers branch on a nutshell

Wonderful Family Night event! Loved the band and movie!

Its a very peaceful place for a date or family walk

As a chaperone for a 3rd grade class first visit here. Need to go back and explore more to go beyond the 4 stars but predict I will end up rating higher.

Hidden gem!!!! So beautiful and perfect place to hang out in the city!!! They offer so many programs and the staff is amazing!!!

Place where history, well maintained, will breathe at you like it was yesterday. Appreciate all the hard work of volunteers. Also place with interesting program througout the year. Stop by, slow down for a minute.

I took my kids to the Silly Snakes event. They loved it. I did feel that the snake presentation was designed for an older age group. Thankfully they took a break in the middle to let the restless kids touch some of the snakes. Some of the classic toys werent great for toddlers, but my kids loved the pop up dollhouse. Im glad the restrooms remained open after the event was over. We ate a picnic lunch there, so stayed after 12pm.

Free. Clean. Really neat educational, fun for everyone

Great park where many city events are held. They have some historic buildings that you can tour. Feels like a quaint little park in a middle of the metroplex.

Beautiful display of Christmas lights, Beautiful friendly greeters. My kids love seeing Santa

Close convenient park. Halloween, Christmas lights, Fourth of July concert and low level fireworks. Old fashioned baseball games. A view of the older sets of things as they were! We go often

Amazing place to stroll around with the family. I was really impressed with how clean and well maintained it was

Gorgeous park and a great place for pictures with your loved ones.

This is a park setting with some turn of the century buildings throughout. There are brick pathways connecting the buildings, restrooms available. A cool place to bring the kids and let them see an old school house, church or how life was in the 1890s.

Nice and clean like always

What a nice facility/park that creates a feeling of being in the country right smack in the middle of the DFW Metroplex. Attended the 10th annual Bloomin Bluegrass festival (second time) and enjoyed every minute. The festival is well organized, laid back and full of kind people and great music. Top notch national acts at a very reasonable cost of $10 day, well worth that and more. Check out the 2020 event. See you there l!

Went and saw fireworks here on July 3rd and I have to say I was quite impressed. Everything was set up like a small town County Fair. It felt like a fun and safe environment for the whole family. The Farmers Branch police department was out in force but very friendly same for all the city volunteers working to ensure cleanliness. All in all I had a great time definitely looking forward to next years event

Date night in the park was a great event! The food trucks were good and lawn chairs and blankets were allowed. Best of all it was free to people over 17!

It was fantastic they had movie night in the park the variety of food trucks stands was pretty impressive as well we watch top gun well it got dark outside it was an awesome night

I love this little gem of a park. Our Scouting district (part of Circle Ten Council) has been doing Cub Scout Day Camps here for years. The park is well maintained with original buildings from our countries history that has been moved here from other locations.

I arranged a tour of the historic buildings for my Girl Scout Troop and despite the heat we had a WONDERFUL time! Kim Chapman helped with the arrangements and Victoria was our super-informative guide. Ive been to the Farmers Branch Historical Park a dozen times or more over the years for various events and have never seen the inside of the log cabins or the caboose until today - very cool place with fabulously friendly & accommodating staff!

Love the old homes

I stumbled upon this park while exploring on my artists date and the park was having an event Park After Dark. I had an AMAZING time!!! I recommend going here because it has valuable pieces of historical structures and information here.

Great place! Love all the activities they have for the kids and community!!!

We had a great time at Halloween in the park. The haunted house was great!!!

Took my daughters here and enjoyed a great day. I love the events they host here too.

Had a wonderful visit with the Heart of Texas Therapy Dogs here. Good location.

Was there fir a wedding on Sep 28th and the whole venue is really unique and has a great vibe. Would def reccomend to anyone looking to host a wedding or any event to look into this. Hidden gen

#It honestly is fun cause they have different haunted houses each year,but they get packed fast #I recommend it though!.

Enjoyed our visit, but they dont keep long hours. Best to go when the buildings are open. Nicely done. Free.

Couldnt have picked a better time of year than Halloween. Food was great, activities were super fun, and they even have a petting/feeding with animals.

The tasting event was great! The scenery was one of a kind. I always enjoy their events.

Love the fireworks here. We come every year. Great pavilion for kids

Good family time.

Great historical walk everytime I go I enjoy walking and the tree shade and when the flowers are booming this place is amazing

Good place to wander around and has a ton of pokestops. dont judge

We were married at the church and it was absolutely perfect for us. Rustic style ala the Kennedys.

I was there for the 2018 Halloween Festival. They had bounce houses which were great but they need more next year. The lines were way too long. Im happy that they gave out goody bags with treats already inside. Good options on food vendors.

Such a cute idea for educators! I loved the volunteers in full costume.

We wandered around the park with our dog for an hour or so. I didnt realize the history of farmers branch until our little visit. All in all pretty cool.

Very pretty. Awesome for a photo shoot.

Great light show to drive through with the little one. Traffic was tight, though, so bring something to occupy small children until they arrive at the main tour.

We had a great time during cocktails and going back in time.

Great special eventsNice old building from our area

Ive walked around took a look at the different exhibits it was pretty cool

It was fun and the fire works they were the best

Such an interesting place. The dog trot house is in its original location, one of the oldest homes in Dallas County! This is a great place for walking, discovering history, or just peacefully hanging-out. One of my favorite museums in the Metroplex.

Great place to see fireworks for the 4th of July.

We were married at the church and it was absolutely perfect for us.

This is such a great location for all the events Farmers Branch organizes. My family has been to the Halloween carnival, the Bloomin Bluegrass Festival, and many others.

Very nice walk-in path and park. Neat buildings and grounds.

Wonderful bluegrass festival in October.

Cool place, weve come to Scout events and city events like trick or treating here. Well run.

Through the guides explanation, tourists can know more about American history.

Great place for an afternoon walk

Very friendly City Workers! I came here for their Halloween Festival they have. My kids enjoyed it. Its very spacious so I hope to see more things next year. Thank you City of Farmers Branch!

Neet place but they charge $150 if you want to take pictures there regardless if you are a professional or not. I wanted to take a few pics there of my daughter for homecoming but refused to pay for their remodel when I already pay taxes for it. Went around the corner to city hall and did them instead.

Beautiful lil place

Such a beautiful little park.

This is a small but well maintained park with several period correct building within their campus. The most striking example is their Victorian era residential house.A must see if you are in this area. We were there on a Sunday, and there was only a couple other people in the park while we were there.

Always a great fireworks show

Love this place. They always host awesome educational events which are perfect for kids (and adults too). The staff is amazingly friendly. Also, you can get a free tour of each building in the park. In some, you can even play pretend and interact with the artifacts.

Very goood

Its a well kept park, with several buildings built before the 1940s, including a 1930s gas station, a church from 1890, and a few houses from the 1800s, including an old log cabin. The gas station has a really nice classic truck inside of it, and an old timey candy display.

Beautiful

Lots of free space for family friendly activities.There are recurring events like the Halloween outdoor festival with shows, food, music and dancing.Traffic is heavy and lawn chairs/seating is recommended to bring with you.

Lovely - a nice break from the hustle and bustle of Dallas life. The park offers a number of fun, free events throughout the year. My husband and I went to their Summer Date Night in the Park and it was fantastic. Highly recommend - great place for a picnic date or family outing.

We were just there for an activity day with the scouts. Its a great venue to spend the 4th of July at, and Holiday at the park is a family tradition for us.

Beautiful public park. Great events hosted by the city

This park offers great old structures from out of the past. Some of which may be toured inside and out. Many great shows are hosted in this large park. The Bloomin Bluegrass Festival held every fall is a wonder free event that I highly recommend.

I was here for star party . We saw Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and it is mind blowing.Too many mosquitoes, so please be prepared.

1890s church is the perfect place to get married. Friendly people staff the place. Lovely places for pictures. Still happy with my choice!

Love walking around this park!

Went for Halloween. Huge festival. Fun for whole family.

A pretty and interesting place

This is a great place. I went for the Blue Grass festival. Very scenic.

On awesome place and awesome time

Plenty of places to get good pics of your kiddos. It was a neat experience for a field trip.

Farmers Branch Historical Park covers nearly 30 acres. It is like stepping back in time when you visit the log cabin, Victorian house, church, general store, 1940s gas station, and other buildings. I visited during the Bloomin Bluegrass Festival in October and had a wonderful time! Great music!

Interesting place to learn some history.

Their Christmas tea is special!

Farmers Branch has beautiful public parks, rose gardens and a very nice family-oriented Historical Park. The city offers many events at the park throughout the year like Christmas lights, outdoor movies and 4th of July celebration. The cluster of historic buildings on the park site are great for photography. Bring the family to one of the events, youll be glad you did!

Visited here for star party. Very good park .

I went here when they had the Halloween thing going on for the kids. although it was pretty cold at night my 4yr old son had fun and there was a lot of people that attended the event and was cool

A great place to check out. Historic buildings, beautiful grounds. Great for a walk. Be sure to check out their events like Stars & Strings or Date Night.

Its a good place for events

Cute house.
