The Log Cabin Village is a 19th-century living history museum that provides a glimpse into Texas life in the 1800s. The site features staff members dressed in 19th-century-style attire and historic buildings from north and central Texas.[1] Log Cabin Village is dedicated to the preservation of 19th c. folk architecture and frontier lifeways.[2][3]
History
[edit | edit source]The cabins in the village date to the middle of the 1800s. They were moved to the village from areas in Texas: and the cabins were restored. The land for the village was donated to the city of Fort Worth, Texas and the village began to admit guests in 1966.[4]
The site features a realistic blacksmith building, a schoolhouse, a gristmill etc. Historical interpreters in 19th century style clothing speak with visitors and demonstrate skills from the 1800s.[5][6]
