There are lots of great things currently going on at Heritage Crossing and many more planned for the rest of the year. Check out the information below for activity ideas.
Garland Railroads Exhibit – Now – March 2022
The Garland Landmark Museum’s current exhibit is all about Garland trains. Visitors will enjoy learning about the city’s early history as well as how the development of the railroad lines affected that history. An informative timeline, illustrated with amazing photographs, describes the role the railroads played. The exhibit covers the time span from the beginning of the railroad in Garland to the 1950s when passenger service was discontinued by most railroad companies. Then it continues up to the present with the role of the DART Rail in downtown Garland. Spend some time at the museum and learn how the railroad transformed Garland from a small agricultural village into one of the largest cities in Texas.
The Garland Landmark Museum is located at 393 North Sixth Street and is open every Thursday-Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
