Heritage Farmstead Museum | Plano, TX

October 2, 2025 by E. Casa de Calvo

This is an amazing place that offers educational workshops and a historical look at homesteading in the late 1800s and early 1900s. We really enjoyed their Easter Egg Hunt experience, with farm animals and live demonstrations.
