Tucked into the center of the hustle and bustle of busy Fort Worth Texas is a place that will transport you back into time. The Log Cabin Village is Fort Worth’s living history museum.
The village is devoted to the preservation of Texas heritage of the 19th century.
The village is filled with structures of the north Texas area from the pioneer era dating from 1840-1890.
Within the confines of the village you can step back into time and experience the past. The hands on arts and crafts give you a sense of the life of the pioneers.
Stocked inside the general mercantile store are books and crafts that take you across the century’s and the sweet treats that the pioneers would have considered to be for a special occasion.
School is in session and the children sing songs of old.
You can peer into the actual homes of the Texas pioneers.
Participation is encouraged as they recreate the trades of the pioneers.
Inside the schoolhouse you can experience the everyday life of a pioneer child.
The Marine school was built in 1872 on North Side, Fort Worth Texas.
Below, the Shaw cabin and Gristmill was built in Parker county in 1854.
At the Thompkins Cabin, built in 1853 in Weatherford, Texas, you can experience candle dipping first hand. The candles are then put into the general mercantile store to sell.
Churning butter
Trying out the lumpy mattress stuffed with straw.
Ah yes, and there is a spinning wheel!
A pioneer girl’s work is never done.
But at last, there is time to play a game of checkers.
An amazing experience for my girls and myself. Lost in the 1800’s.
I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I muse on the work of You hands. Psalm 143:5
