The Dallas County Heritage Society, which administers Old City Park; The Historical Village of Dallas is undergoing major change in a number of areas. Since 1995, the institutional emphasis has moved away from its main focus for the first 30 years of its existence- acquiring new historical structures - to doing more with what it already has on hand. More resources are now being devoted to expanding educational programs and staging special events.
In addition, the museum is beginning a changeover in how it interprets history to the public. The traditional docent-led tour is gradually giving way to a multi-layer visitor experience that will feature interactions with craft interpreters and self-guided interpretation gained through audio components and written materials.
As an important element in this restructuring, in October 1998, the museum opened its 1860's Living Farmstead fully furnished with reproductions, demonstration crop areas, gardens, costumed interpreters, and farm animals. The Old City Park of the next ten years will be increasingly visitor-friendly, featuring innovative historical experiences at a variety of levels. At the same time, the museum will be even more tied to the local community with a variety of educational programs for school children and adults.
