Log Cabin Village is a living history museum in Fort Worth, TX, devoted to the preservation of Texas heritage. Each of the 1800s structures, furnished with authentic artifacts, provides a vivid look at life in the nineteenth century frontier. The exhibits include a water-powered gristmill, a one-room schoolhouse, a blacksmith shop, an herb garden, and several log home settings. Historical interpreters depict the lifestyle of Texans in the mid to late 1800s.
Log Cabin Village aspires to build connections to 19th century Texas by providing educational opportunities and sensory experiences that are engaging, accurate, and as authentic as possible. Throughout the Village, the interpreters bring history to life. A skilled spinner twists natural wool into thread for knitting and weaving. At the gristmill, the miller grinds shelled corn into meal as the water wheel creaks and moans. Candles on the cooling rack and cauldrons of wax lead to visions of living by candle light. The echo of the blacksmith hammering hot metal as he shapes nails may be heard on some mornings. Visitors may sit on the hard wooden benches in the one-room school house and imagine doing sums on slates with the dim light of lanterns. It is these sensory experiences, along with the beautiful natural surroundings, that make Log Cabin Village a memorable and unique place to learn about our past.
