Located in a very woodsy section of Trinity Park, this 19th-century grouping of log cabins is a true delight. The seven fully restored cabins originated in the 1850s. Volunteers who run the operation are adept at giving demonstrations of everyday activities from days gone by including corn grinding, candle dipping, spinning and weaving. Special programs such as pioneer pastimes are often held, showing children how people lived in pioneer times with examples of art, crafts and other displays.

Leonard's Department Store was a landmark in Fort Worth and even had it own subway! Such was the popularity of this one-stop shopping center from 1918 to 1967 that going to this place was a favorite family event during the weekends. The M&O had the distinction of being the only private subway of the world. Marvin and Obie Leonard were the brothers behind this success story before any mall had taken over the city. Get to their fascinating history in the Leonard's Department Store Museum. Displays showcasing the objects that used to be put up on sale, artifacts, the restored subway and more will take you through a journey that was a part of the city's history and pride. Run by the Leonard family, it is a fitting ode to a wonderful piece of history.
