This is a village near downtown Fort Worth. It is great for the kids because each station that you go to talks about what life was like back then. The day I went the weather was perfect. The people dressed up and were knowledgeable about living conditions, blacksmithing, extra-curricular activities that they did. The photos that I am posting is of the herb garden that is near the blacksmithing station. Also, some pictures are the schoolhouse and what it looked like.Great lesson for how herbs grow and can be used for cooking. Also, there is one that if you rubbed it in between your hands smelled like licorice. Not to bad was $5 per person, but no more than 10 people in a party. Also, when you pay to do the tour only one person can be in the store since Co-Vid. This place is a great place to get some fresh air and has tons of spots to sit down and enjoy the weather.

Very informative and fun, especially for kids! I came in with fresh eyes, not knowing what to expect. I admire that the guides stay in character and are interactive teachers open to any questions you have. It was a little slow when we went, on Saturday morning, but still very interesting! I would go back again and again because there is quite a lot to learn and piqued curiosity. I definitely recommend going here for education purposes, fun and support our community with this activity.

Very interesting perspective for us living today on those living in the past...beautiful grounds...trees...forest feel....quaint!

Log cabin village has excellent docents. They interact well with the children and are kind and accommodating. The history of the village is shown in a realistic setting. Its a great place to build memories and knowledge about Texass past.

Very fun informative trip for the kids (up to 12 years old) ,you get to do some activity there, you can spend 2 hours there.Close to Dream park in Fort worth a must visit park.

Awesome place to set up a hammock in or to have a picnic. I havent been in the log cabin area. But a great hidden gem near the city.

Corona has forced them to be creative, as the usual experiences were not available. Yet, they managed to engage our elementary aged girls for over 2 hours, patiently answering all their questions and helping them understand the way people once lived in the past. A good outdoor activity under the circumstances.

We had a very enjoyable time at our visit here today! The docents are very wonderful indescribing the cabins and various activities in the park. We recommend this for anyone interested in pioneer history.

Awesome collection of preserved cabins. Lots of signs explaining the history and original owners. Free parking and about $5 each to visit. A huge herb and butterfly garden exists. People dressed in period clothing are there to answer questions. No snacks or beverages available on site. Handicap access available. All cabins have ramps or ground-level entrance. Uneven and hilly terrain, so wheelchair assistance may be needed. Highly recommend visiting.

Fantastic place to bring the family and travel back in time.

Loved it!! We went to different cabins with our school kids. They had every thing set up in an immaculate manner. All the presenters were very authentic. We loved every inch of it !! Our favorite was the schoolhouse and the candlemaking .

It was so amazing. I got to make a candle. Its a really cool place to learn about history.

Great Place and Great Staff.. Very safe place to visit during Covid-19...

Its a great adventure for your mind..! A place where one can give as a birthday present to go at. Ive heard nothing but great report from this place.

I’ve been here twice on field trips with my daughters school. Both times although a few years apart Log Cabin Village has been such a great time and experience. The kids learn so much, and have such a great time. The employees dressing and acting the part is fantastic. Would definitely recommend taking kids of any age here!

A neat experience well unknown to me after all the years Ive been here. Really glad I came as the log cabins were really neat, and staff were very knowledgeable about the different cabin types and how things were made.Highly recommend as its not a big area to visit

I enjoyed spending the afternoon out here with my family. I imagine the pre-COVID it was even more enjoyable. Kudos to the parks employees that got to dress in period costume in Texas heat and still seemed to enjoy themselves as well (even the blacksmith!).

This was an amazing experience for me, very friendly staff who welcome visitors in every cabin and explain in details the way of life, the history of the cabin and how its been used. I highly recommend this museum to everyone looking for a great history of Texas frontiers.

Nice little piece of American history. Small Heritage village in Fort Worth. You can see and learn how people used to live many many years ago. Go here some day, If you live nearby. Bring your kids. It is small, you can walk through all those houses in about 30 minutes. They have free parking lot.

Found this online while looking for something to do today. Figured wed swing by and im glad we did. The staff was great from start to finish. The houses are really cool with a lot of info about the houses and families associated with them. I would recommend this to anyone. My kids had a great time as well and my daughter even got to use an old drill press. It must have been boring living back then but it was eye opening.

This place is amazing and the staff are so friendly! The staff is very knowledgeable and we learned a lot of new things. The little gift shop is so neat with so many souvenirs.

We spent almost 3 hours here asking question after question to patient, extremely knowledgeable staff. This place is fascinating and the interactive cabin for children is so fun, our girls spent ages here dressing up and pretending. The school house rules were fascinating as well. Please visit if you are nearby, its well worth it. Ps. Dont mind the face editing.

Fantastic history lessons for young and old. Highly recommended. Will be coming back.

Really cool historical buildings. Clean bathrooms.

Very informative, everyone was polite. Great place to go to escape whats going on today.

The village is nicely maintained. They also demo how the blacksmith used his tools during ancient time. Overall a good weekend place

This is a unique place to take the kids.

Love this place!The staff is very courteous and kind. My kids were able to touch and learn a lot. Its handicap accessible.

Amazing! Love that the workers were actually educated on the history

Very interesting area but beautiful

The blacksmiths shop was great!

I hadn’t been here since I was in school, and the cabins and features they added are wonderful. Even my two-and-half year old had a blast. They have a cabin that you can go in and touch everything. My son loved playing with the homestead toys, and I was completely surprised when I sat on the bed to find out it was made of rope! The cabin also has a chicken coop with play eggs and stuffed animal chickens to gather them from, a garden to bury and dig up play potatoes, carrots, and onions, and a working water pump.That cabin kept my son as husband occupied while I got to look at the other cabins and structures. Too many to go into detail, so go check it out yourself. If you enjoy living history, you won’t be disappointed. Also, if you go during a weekend , you might get to help make candles or see a demonstration of a man powered lathe. We went during a Dutch oven demonstration and got to taste some marvelous cooking. Can’t wait to go back!

My husband and I spent a couple of hours here. The buildings are original. They have different cabins, a school house which double as a church, smoke house, herb house, blacksmith shop and and candle making shop. The staff enjoy telling you history. We will come back with the grands! Admission about $5 depending on age. Children 3 and under free. Hours Tues-Fri 9am-4pm. Sat-Sun 1pm-5pm.

Love the history! Well maintained cabins and grounds; friendly, informative staff and volunteers. One of the cabins is hands-on, so the kids can pick up anything and everything theyre curious about. Great price for admission and free parking.

This place is amazingIt gives you a glimpse of what it was to live in that era.

What a nice suprise

This a small living history museum showing the way that early settlers of Texas lived and worked. The various cabins and buildings are actual buildings donated by city and state organizations. Besides simply displaying the buildings, volunteers are available to actually explain skills and crafts that were necessary for plain living.The Log Cabin Village a great place to spend a few hours with the kids learning about the people that came before.

What a hidden gem! We went in the dead of winter, even then it was fascinating. You feel like you’re in a whole other world and while I’m no fan of “pioneer living,” our kids and we were intrigued by all the old houses and reenactments. Makes you appreciate modern life! Will return when the weather is nice. Lots of special events, check out their calendar.

I really enjoyed this historical village. The historical interpreters were very knowledgeable and provided an interactive aspect to the experience. The cabins contained historically accurate furniture and household goods. The working water wheel at the grist mill was neat. The garden was beautiful. Well worth the $5 fee. Nice gift shop too.

Took my children on a whim. Wow!!! We had a blast! The people who work there was so nice and knowledgeable! The cabins are in great shape and to actually show my daughters how people in the old days lives and have such friendly staff on hand to answer any and every question was great. This is a must do if you are in the area

My husband & I went here on our anniverary weekend. The price is reasonable and the staff was knowledgeable. Its not very big but its packed with history set in a scenic atmosphere. I have to say this was the most peaceful museum I have ever been too.

Really awesome place in the heart of Fort Worth, right near the botanic gardens and zoo. The staff make learning about Texas and US history fun and exciting. Highly recommended.

If youre looking for something fun to do with the kids, dont hesitate! It is so much fun here and youll love it too.

And it has always been one of my favorite places in Fort Worth since I was a child! Love the opportunity to step back in history among the tall oak trees near the Trinity River and Colonial Golf Course.

Great place to take kids!

I had a great time here at the log cabin Village! Everyone is friendly and its a fun way to learn about Texas history. Highly recommend this place.

Neat place to spend a couple of hours. Very informative self guided tour. There were a couple of reenactors there on our visit.

What a lovely find! This place offers a respectful, well-maintained, and delightfully interactive experience with history. As another reviewer also stated, it is a hidden gem!

Visited the Log Cabin Village on a field trip. I have driven by this landmark of Fort Worth for 15 years, but never had visited. I have friends who remember visiting LCV when they were in school. I enjoy learning about American History, especially this time period, so I thought the exhibits were really neat, and historically correct. Theres only so much a kiddo can learn from a textbook. When they SEE and FEEL things they have read about they have a greater understanding of the material.

If you love history youll love this place!!

I discovered the Log Cabin Village through reading about Cynthia Parker. Each structure there has its own history and the staff there are friendly and very knowledgeable about life on the Texas frontier. A wonderful piece of frontier history in the shadow of the city. Admission price is unbeatable and parking easy.

Great place to revisit the past

We stepped back in time upon entering, Log Cabin Village, amazing! Staff in period dress helped complete the experience. Listening to the individuals regale the patrons with how life was so very long ago.I highly recommend Log Cabin Village to everyone and especially those individuals who enjoy history.

A nice step back in history that lets you see how American settlers lived. The staff was very very polite, and if you take time to listen, they have a lot of interesting things about history to share with you.If you enjoy history, you should enjoy this place. It was one of our favorite stops on our trip. We loved it

Great place, educational, staff know their stuff, also small gift shop... Great for ALL ages...

How have I never been here? Its a gem! Great history lesson for kids and adults. Several cabins with authentic decor. Theres even a hands on cabin where you can touch and play with everything! We got to see a real. Blacksmith at work and talk to him. My kids were in awe of his skill. Very cool piece of history for Fort Worth!

The cabins where nicely maintained and the host were very nice. It was an amazing historical tour!

We had an amazing time.

If you have about half hour to an hour to spend and want to see what life was like 170 or so years ago, this is a nice place to go. It cost about $5.50 a person and you get to see several old cabins, a Black Smith, Mill, gardens and more. It is just great to imagine life back then, and then remember how blessed we are to have air conditioning and a microwave.

Cool history lessons

Educational and historical, friendly and informative staff.

We went here near closing time so werent able to spend very much time reading all the information available, but it was nice to learn a bit about how people would have lived. There were people in some of the cabins dressed up in traditional clothing keen to answer questions. They also did some demonstrations of candle making and carpentry. It is hard to imagine how difficult life would have been at the time, but this village helps bring it to life.

Perfect place to take the whole family and a great place to learn about the past! Also, fun to get out in nature too!

Good for kids. A quick educational thing to do. Can be done in about an hour. Nice staff!

Its a part of Texas history.We enjoy your visit,there are people dressed in the time period. That provide information.They also have a very informative presentation in the schoolhouse with music and storytelling

It was very nice!! I really enjoyed this place!! The workers are very nice and knowledgeable!! It was really interesting!! Great for elementary age kids! Its not too much walking, but a nice trail! The herb garden is a delight! They allow you to take a bit!! Its not overly priced at all! They have a small store as well! Go check it out!!

Took my daughter here for the first time and she learned a lot. I hadnt been there in about 35 years. It was great sharing those moments with her.

Love imagining going back in time but not the indian raids!

It was great. Our students were engaged, asked questions, and participated in all the hands on activities. That isnt always easy with Special Education Students. The staff was wonderful with our students.

Knowing that FORT WORTH is where the west begins this pioneer village is a hidden treasure

Such beautiful scenery! Entertaining for my kids but hot and humidity calls for like a spray ground within walking distance ! Other than that- services were clean, staff was knowledgeable and kids enjoyed themselves

Loved going here with my nieces! The loved it even more - they dressed up! So cute!

We had a wonderful time. Docents were knowledgeable and the kids were really into it. If you are looking for something fun, interactive and historic this is it.

Log Cabin Village was a great place to visit. Really enjoyed today. Lots of different cabins to see with many different types of things, from candle dipping to the blacksmith. An outing for the whole family. It even has a hands on area.

We stopped here after visiting the Civil War Museum. It was a nice little place to stop. Some of the actors/workers gave a little history about the different houses you go into. It was nice to see that some of them were just as they were many many years ago. Some were restored and beautifully done. We didnt spend more than an hour here. Worth a trip to see how they lived a long time ago.

Living history is awesome, so much fun for the family.

Im very interested in history so i really enjoyed this. Ive been to a few other similar museums and this is the best one so far.

Good, cheap, fun! I live just a little west of Fort Worth & somehow had never been... My children LOVED the hands on cabin and candle making experience. At ages 5 & 7 they learned (and retained) a lot from the experience. I am planning on taking them again, it is a new family favorite for us.

I have visited here twice. Both times when I had a little extra time to spend and I guess thats the best way to put it. Its a small spot and you can probably see everything there in an hour or so. It can make for a nice bookend to something else like the zoo or a TCU game. And a good place for a stroll where oyu want to see more than the river or bushes

Very fun and informative. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. My son had a blast trying out candle making. The scenery was pretty and the grounds were very well kept. Make sure you dont go at the same time as field trips though or you may have to wait to see everything but even if you do, the staff will help you go around them so they wont be in the way.

Worth a visit. Very welcoming staff. Catch the music of Buttermilk Junction if you can.

Nice place for Elementary School kids, we went but it was a cold rainy day. Staff did their best, they provided a lot of history and showed the kids how it was in the pioneer days. I think it could have been way better but they cant control the weather. I hope to return on a nice shiny day.

Went on field trip with my grandson was awsome

It was fun. Theres a hands on cabin that all the kids love.. clothing to try on, cookware and toys to play with. They get to try pumping water and digging in the garden for vegetables. Candle dipping and a smell and touch herb garden completed the tour. We spent about an hour and a half in the village. It was worth the 5 bucks each....

Great inexpensive, historical place to visit. Can easily be done in under three hours. Great local history.

Family had great time. Kids found it interesting seeing how small the spaces were and learning how so many family members would have to share its space.

This was such a nice place to visit. Its like stepping back in time. There are people dressed in costume along the way, who tell you about the history of the different buildings.

A nice place to spend some time. It took about an hour to walk around all the structures at a leisurely pace. The walkways are paved but not smooth, a stroller or wheelchair would have difficulty navigating some spots. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable providing interesting information about both the cabins and the ways of life. Overall a neat place to visit.

8 yr old really enjoyed a trip to the past and learning about how people lived on the frontier. Friendly staff, interesting hands-on experience with many group classes available to learn a variety of skills with our without children. Definitely worth the stop,

After a great visit at Christmas, we went back this weekend for my daughters birthday. We had a picnic in the adjoining park, then went into the Village. The women at the admissions register were thrilled to see my daughter in her self-made pioneer costume. They came around to take a photo with her. The kids in our group loved looking around, dipping candles, and learning from the staff and volunteers.

This place is awesome for all ages. Ive visited it for the past 40 years. Its changes and people are always great. Ive bought many hand forged items from the real working blacksmith shop. Sampled lots of great food during their cookouts. Participated in making unique period crafs. Its a four season visit.

Went here as a child and still remember how cool it was!

Great place to see - some of the tour guides were really great!

This was an awesome museum! It was very interesting getting to learn about the long ago occupants. The employees that were there that day were all very friendly and very knowledgeable.

Great history lesson and you can makeyour own candle!

Friendly staff and informative plaques all over the grounds to keep our local Texas history intact. I am proud to see that an organization in our community has sought to preserve the buildings and crafts to teach to younger generations that were not able to gain the first hand experience.

Such an information place! Love it

Fun and entertaining. Good for youth to learn about the past.

Very friendly staff, you can spend 1-2 hours here. Old fashioned candle making / dipping, singing and interesting historical buildings. Be sure to check out Teresas home stitched dolls! Parking easy to spot from University road.

Great place to be in the history filled place where I can find the time to soak up the history of life here and the workers are delitfull to be around and very knowledgable
