Walk Through Holiday Pasts



Celebrate the holidays with Texas' earliest residents and see how they did it "back then" during Candlelight at Dallas Heritage Village, presented by Comerica Bank, on December 8 and 9, 3 p.m. until 9 p.m.

Join the festivities as pioneer and Victorian Texas is brought to life by characters dressed in historical costumes and 38 structures dating frmo 1840 to 1910. Mrs. Blum prepares for Hanukkah in 1901, while Mrs. Kennedy celebrates Christmas during the Civil War.

Bask in the warm glow of history and celebrate the season at Dallas Heritage Village.

Bring the family and experience Dallas holidays from 1840 to 1910.
