Dallas Heritage Village

Last week was spring break for all of Dallas – even preschoolers. We avoided our usual hangouts because of anticipated crowds and instead explored a new one: The Dallas Heritage Village. It was actually my friend Angela’s idea to go (a mom of one of Norah’s preschool friends). I had never even heard of it and apparently no one else had either because the place was practically empty – and it was spring break!!   It was so nice to not have to stress about keeping track of them in a crowd. We spread out the picnic blanket and then just let the girls run around and explore. Just by luck we visited on the 2nd Wednesday of the month which is when they host a free playgroup complete with a story time, craft, and old fashioned games. This is Norah’s friend Hope A local women’s group had decorated the village with their knitting and it was so beautiful. They had thought of everything, flowers, birds laundry They had also made hobby horses and left them waiting outside the houses and shops for the children to find. What horse? Where? Got it! We will definitely return to this hidden gem of a hangout. I hope this post gives this place a bit of badly needed publicity because it is underappreciated. Kids under 4 are free people!
