Claim to Fame Culture and History
Step inside Ewing Mansion at Southfork Ranch and get a taste of the glitzy, Texas lifestyle reflected in the popular 1980s television show “Dallas,” which was filmed at the ranch. Guided tours take visitors throughout the home – which includes noteworthy memorabilia from the series – as well as over the grounds, where you’ll see horses and learn about the ranch’s history. Follow up with a visit to Heritage Farmstead Museum, set in a Victorian-era farmhouse and operating as a living history museum. Here, you’ll see a one-room school house, a blacksmith shed and a carriage garage. To learn about the area’s historic electric railway, head to the Interurban Railway Museum, housed in an old depot and offering tours of an original rail car.
