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]
