jaelieSo I've been thinking about Old City Park a bit lately. Admission is only $7, and they are going to have some really neat activities coming up.
Nov 12 they are having a "Civil War on the Homefront" day: Fall in line with the soldiers of long ago. Experience life at home during times of war by assisting with the preparations of a war-bound soldier, discover what were used as substitutes for many household items in a blockade, and hear the songs and stories of triumph and heartache.
Then in December they're having some holiday activities that sound like they'll be a lot of fun. "Candlelight": Celebrate the season as Dallas residents did from 1840-1910, with crafts, music, dancing, children’s activities, and much more. Hundreds of hurricane lamps illuminate the pathways of Dallas’ only historical village.
I bet I can wear my 1860 dress to that....
*watches for any excuse to dress up!*
