Log Cabin Village — Attraction in Fort Worth

A brilliant experience. A few more tips below.

We were there with enough time for a whole day. There are various huts on the site. There is usually someone in each one to explain something (only the mill was unmanned for us). On site, everyone tells about 5-10min. Briefly something. Questions can then be asked. Because none of this was new to me, due to my interest in history. I asked very in-depth questions or specific objects that I didn't know. Most of them were very happy to talk about it and went into great detail. And showed their enthusiasm for the topic and their knowledge. Only one person really showed that I wasn't interested, which was a shame... I would have liked to ask questions. And one person had little idea (perhaps just starting out). But the last person was otherwise very open-minded and explained other things. It was a shame that this person couldn't go into more detail about some things. But it was a great experience. And at this price really something great! It's not overpriced!!!

Tips: Bring some water with you About 2-2,5 h time. (That's enough to walk through once, talk to everyone and possibly look at something a second time afterwards). It is not a purely passive experience. Best in the...

Go to the FortWorth cabin village early so you can avoid the heat and have hardly any waiting time for cabin watching and also to get a good parking spot. Paid $7 (cash/card) for adult ticket entrance and they’ll provide a cabin village map.

The overall experience was great! The entrance employees made me laugh and that made the first time experience memorable, specially since I barely found out of this place!

The walkthrough was a learning experience with each cabin having a historian explaining the background of the cabin and the rich cultural history of the home. Some cabins do have home items that you can touch and the Wickian cabin (last cabin on the map) does allow for you to experience how to make a candle. The employee in the candle cabin was informative and knowledgeable of the candle making process, you can tell she enjoys working in the village! There are fans in the cabins so you can cool off while you hear the...

I hadn’t been here since I was in school, and the cabins and features they added are wonderful. Even my two-and-half year old had a blast. They have a cabin that you can go in and touch everything. My son loved playing with the homestead toys, and I was completely surprised when I sat on the bed to find out it was made of rope! The cabin also has a chicken coop with play eggs and stuffed animal chickens to gather them from, a garden to bury and dig up play potatoes, carrots, and onions, and a working water pump.

That cabin kept my son as husband occupied while I got to look at the other cabins and structures. Too many to go into detail, so go check it out yourself. If you enjoy living history, you won’t be disappointed. Also, if you go during a weekend , you might get to help make candles or see a demonstration of a man powered lathe. We went during a Dutch oven demonstration and got to taste some marvelous cooking. Can’t...
