The lady at the front desk was welcoming and knowledgeable about the museum. I like the addition of interactive pieces in the museum which made the experience better.

All in all it was a lunch break well spent and the ladies working there were lovely. I recommend stopping by if you are in the area.

They commence by escorting you and your children throughout their beautiful and wonderful exhibits. They are so kind and gentle with your children. These marecoulous women get your children engaged in the historical world of Roanoke, Texas. I felt like I traveled back in time. Best of all, our friends were allowed to participate and expand on their knowledge. All their questions were answered so patiently and the children were allowed to touch certain items and explore. The kindness of all these women blew my mind. They even hugged us without hesitation at the end of our unscheduled tour. Also, we are now in their Facebook page, so Yes, they made us famous. Please, please, go check out this time capsule. It a small Museum that packs a Huge Punch . Enjoy and don't forget to ask about their scavenger hunt!!! Thank you ladies, it was an experience we will never forget.

I'll definitely have to come back and check all the exhibits out more closely. This place has such a eclectic collection of cars and toys. Honestly, i don't care for much outside of exotic and hypercars, but it was really cool to see all the different cars at this collection. As for the exotic and hypercars, this place didn't have a lot, id say less than 10? But seeing everything else was really cool and different. The toy section was a large room with lots of vehicles but other items from Ron's collection. I know this place will have different events outside, and when we went they had a VW bug meet. Apparently, you can rent this space out for events, and you can even store your cars here as well. This place has something for everyone.

There are so many glowing reviews. So mine isn't needed because they're all true!…read more I've been wanting to haul the boys out here for some time but it's quite a trek from the north Dallas area. We finally made it and to say it was worth the trip is an understatement. It's not just that there's so many pristine vintage and modern vehicles to appreciate, but every single person that we encountered who was working there was kind and welcoming. Yes, there's no admission. And most important above all else, yes you can bring your dog(s) here. It's so difficult to find places that are truly dog friendly (allow dogs indoors). Which is understandable, so when we find a place that does, we take full advantage to patronize. The front desk attendants even made our pup feel welcome. He walked around but also took turns with the human little one in the stroller. We didn't end up staying too long but everyone had a good time. My husband, the car fanatic and connoisseur, said that the monthly fee to store a car was really good. And he had plenty of cars and cycles to admire. But even as someone who isn't a car person, myself, it's a great outing for the entire family. Thank you to Ron and his entire team for creating and opening up such a family, and canine, friendly treasure for this whole DFW metroplex!

Well I already added the…read morebusiness once, and the yelp admins thought this was the same business as the Wild Rose Heritage Center ( https://www.yelp.com/biz/wild-rose-heritage-center-keller ), it's not. A clever observer will note that the two business have different addresses. Hours are 11AM to 3PM, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Keller Station House Museum is across the street from the Wild Rose Heritage Center, which also lists itself as a museum So last week was the first I knew of the Keller Station House Museum. I went to a presentation at the Keller Public Library, given by Rollin Phipps. It was very interesting. I learned of general Texas railroad history, how this area came to have a train stop, and how the city of Keller got its name. Before I start on the next section of this review, I just want to say I am going to pop over to 136 Bates (later today) and grab a couple quick pictures so you (and yelp admins) can see that the Station House, and observe that it is not the same as the Heritage Center. Here is some info I received from that presentation (written by Rollin Phipps, used with permission): "To recognize the importance importance of the railroads to Keller, the Old Town Keller Foundation ( www.otkf.org ) decided to establish a museum displaying artifacts from the era of railroading. The foundation purchased a building across the street from the Wild Rose Center and began collecting train related items. In October, 2017 the museum officially opened to the public. The collection includes an Interurban Wait Station, a water tower, railroad uniforms and hats, a model train display, and various signs and crossing lights. The museum exhibits items which are of interest to both the young and hold. Even though the original Keller depot was torn down years ago, photos of that building remind us that the growth of the city has been tied to the men and women who worked on the railroads. Creating the Station House Museum took a little luck, some imagination, and finding the right display materials. In the early days of the museum, curators contacted rail fans from around the United States. One item was purchased from Minnesota, it required driving 1000 miles to get it to Keller. Another maintenance vehicle was shipped from Houston. Not all efforts have been successful. In December, the museum tried to acquire a caboose from a city near Waco. But after lengthy discussions the caboose remains in its home city. Some artifacts are extremely rare, for example there are only two remaining Interurban Wait Stations in Texas. During these last few months, the Keller curators have made friends with several railroad museums around the state." Bottom line: A very cool addition to Old Town Keller, especially as OTK continues to grow.

Since it wasn't my first time, it felt like a nice refresh just looking around and enjoying the collection once more. The museum does an impressive job showcasing the history of American Airlines aviation. You'll find a wide range of artifacts including uniforms, photos, silverware, documents, and more that tell the story of the airline's past and present. One of the highlights for me was seeing the Flagship Knoxville DC-3 again. I was able to view the interior and take plenty of pictures of this classic aircraft. If you're planning a visit, I recommend checking their official website (crsmithmuseum.org) for the most up-to-date information, as hours and schedules can change. Currently, the museum is open Thursdays and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Whether you're an aviation enthusiast, an American Airlines team member, or simply curious about airline history, the C.R. Smith Museum is well worth a visit. Great exhibits and a memorable experience overall.

I'm pretty terrible at reading trail maps, but I believe we took the Bluebird trail and followed the signs to Grapevine Lake. The trail leads you right down to the water, where there is a nice little shore to throw rocks and splash around in. Someone even hung a tree swing a few hundred feet up from the lake. So fun! I can't speak for all the trails, but this particular trail was not entirely stroller friendly. I have a pretty nice jogger and a strong man to push it, so we did ok on the trail to Grapevine Lake, but the trail is very narrow in parts and most strollers will be too wide. You need one that is pretty much built for off-roading. The nature center might have a bathroom inside, but all I saw was a porta potty behind a privacy wall. Now is the time to get out and enjoy some outdoor exercise. The weather is crisp and nature is calling. Make your way to Bob Jones Nature Center and take advantage of the beautiful trails and gorgeous lake views.

What really stood out to me was the people behind it. The father-and-son team curating the museum are incredibly genuine and welcoming. They're the kind of folks who take the time to talk with visitors, share stories about the cars, and make you feel like you're part of something special rather than just passing through. The collection itself is outstanding--beautiful vehicles, tons of nostalgic toys, and plenty of unique pieces that make you stop and look twice. There's clearly a lot of thought and care put into how everything is displayed. The most amazing part? It's free. In a world where everything costs something, they've chosen to open the doors to everyone simply because they love sharing it. That says a lot about their character. If you enjoy cars, history, or just meeting good people doing something the right way, you need to check this place out. Fort Worth is fortunate to have it.
