Log Cabin Village: Representing the Texan Heritage
The Log Cabin Village is a history museum which represents and preserves the Texan heritage. Initially the Village was a project of the Pioneer Texas Heritage Committee and some members of the Tarrant County Historical Society. To build the museum six old houses were transported from the North Region of Texas until the actual location. However, these houses had to be restored by the year 1950. When the project was ready it was donated to the city of Fort Worth.
By the year 1966 the museum was opened to all the public. In 1974 the Foster Cabin (a huge house) was added and also an old school of the year 1870 was brought in 2003. The main objective of this museum is to offer a perspective of the style of life of the 19th century. There are also presentations of the lifestyle of the pioneers who settled in the area by the late 1800’s. Every single one of the pieces in the museum is an original and dates back from the time of the pioneers. Some of these pieces are: furniture, personal things, clothes, photos, tools and documents of some families. However, the people that administer the museum have created certain reproductions of some of those artifacts to be touched by the public. The museum is open from Tuesday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and it is located in Fort Worth, Texas.
