Where is Heritage Park?
How long have you lived in Euless? How much do you know about the City you live in? Did you know that the Fuller House was the first brick house in Euless? Or that the McCormick Barn is made out of lumber hauled by horse and buggy from Camp Bowie in Fort Worth? Have you visited the circa 157 year old Himes Log House? The Log House was found inside one of the homes located northeast of Euless Junior High on Himes Street. These three buildings were dismantled brick by brick, log by log and lumber by lumber, moved and restored to their original condition at beautiful Heritage Park at 203 Cullum Drive, east of Euless Main and Hwy 10.
Free tours are provided by the Historical Preservation Committee every second Saturday of the month between 1 - 5 p.m. Call 817-685-1649 or email for information on tours, volunteer opportunities, donations, etc.
