Description

Bringing Dallas to life through the real characters and stories that have shaped it. From early pioneers to oil barons, cowboys and outlaws, you’ll see how each left their mark on the city.
Your experience begins at Ferris Plaza, where early rail lines once converged and travelers first stepped into a bustling young city. From there, gaze up at Reunion Tower, a glowing beacon on the skyline that symbolizes Dallas’ modern rise and offers a sweeping view of the city’s growth.

Step back to the 1840s at the John Neely Bryan Cabin, a faithful replica of the simple frontier home that sparked Dallas’ beginnings.

At Pioneer Plaza, walk among larger-than-life bronze cattle and cowboys that celebrate the city’s Wild West roots and trail-driving past.

Moving forward in time, pause at Dallas City Hall, I.M. Pei’s bold architectural statement of 1970s confidence and civic ambition.

Nearby, look up at the soaring Pegasus, the red neon emblem of Big D that once greeted travelers from miles away and still embodies the spirit of progress.

Finally, arrive at the Dealey Plaza National Historic Landmark District, where Dallas’ story meets world history at the JFK Assassination Spot. Here, you’ll stand where history paused, reflecting on how a frontier town became a city forever etched in the American story.
