This place is a legitimate piece of American pop culture history, and they do a great job bringing it to life. The guided tour takes you inside the actual ranch house, and it's more immersive than you'd think. The formal dining room with its crystal chandeliers, the bold red kitchen, the grand foyer staircase -- it's all right there, frozen in time like the Ewing family just stepped out for a moment. And yes, they have the room where JR was shot, complete with a chalk outline and crime scene markers. Campy? A little. Fun? Absolutely. Outside, the grounds are beautiful. White fences, open pastures, friendly animals wandering around with the iconic ranch house as the backdrop. There's also JR's silver Lincoln Continental on display in the museum, along with memorabilia and history from the show. Fair warning: this is a deeply generational experience. My older colleagues were absolutely in their element while some of the younger folks in our group needed a little context. But even without being a die-hard Dallas fan, there's enough to see and appreciate that everyone ended up having a good time. Great group outing, unique Dallas experience. If you're in the area, it's absolutely worth a visit.

As a longtime fan of the TV show Dallas, I had been looking forward to visiting Southfork Ranch for…read moreyears. Growing up in Europe, we watched the show later than audiences in the U.S., but I never missed an episode and absolutely loved following the Ewings' story. So when I had the chance to travel through Texas, visiting Southfork was at the top of my list. The visit exceeded my expectations. The ranch is perfectly set up for visitors - from the guided tour of the house, which is preserved and decorated exactly like it appeared in the show, to all the little details, including the cars the Ewing family used. Our guide gave a fascinating talk about the history of filming, the ranch's rental process, and behind-the-scenes stories that really brought the show to life. We also got to walk around the ranch, see the small horses or ponies, and browse a tiny gift shop. It was amazing to experience in person something I'd watched on TV for so many years - and on the other side of the continent, no less! The whole experience was nostalgic, charming, and genuinely fun. If you love Dallas or just want to see an iconic TV ranch in real life, Southfork is absolutely worth the visit.

The Texas Legends frequently give away free tickets for "community nights" so I would definitely suggest signing up for their emails to snag tickets for the next game!

This was a neat theater!…read more I did not know this place existed until a coworker friend of mine at work told me about it. Specifically, his son was in the lead role of a recent production here. I was impressed with the ease of ticket ordering online, as well as the view from every seat that I could have chosen for my party to sit in. There really was not a bad seat in the house! This theater is part of the North, Texas Performing Arts organization . They provide you with an education in the performing arts and the production of events. Based on what I saw last night they are really doing some amazing work, helping youth be their absolute best!

Went back today, and the museum was open. I talked to the lady who was volunteering today, and she…read moresaid that sometimes others forget that they are supposed to work, or they have family problems and cannot attend. That was in regards to the museum being closed on Thursday when the sign said it was open. The volunteer today (Jackie) was extremely nice. She knew a lot about the items. I walked around looking at the stuff families have donated. There was a homemade bed that belonged to Collin McKinney (he was a founder of McKinney, TX) and is buried here at VA cemetery. What I really liked best was the vintage school memorabilia. The old football, baseball and cheerleader uniforms. The school pictures were neat. They had a girl's volleyball photo from 1912 and the uniforms were big, bulky dresses. Must have been difficult to move around in those clothes. Yet, I would rather see those then the mini shorts and tight shirts that girls wear today when playing volleyball. There was also a few photos from the segregated black school. Today it's been converted into a church across the railroad tracks. This was a really neat place. I could't find anything that belonged to my ancestors. Which is kinda sad b/c my 3rd great-grandfather was one of the wealthiest landowners in Cannon. You would think someone would have donated something. After I walked around, I talked to the volunteer. She was extremely nice and polite. She let me browse through a book on the history of Grayson county. I couldn't find anything on my family. This is a nice little place to look around. They're only open three days a week during the summer for 2 hrs a day. Like my previous trip, sometimes the volunteers don't show up. They do have vintage postcards and calendars for sale. All sales go to the museum. They also take donations.

The neatest museum of Van Alstyne history, artifacts, and things to remember…read more The museum itself is small but packs a punch. Areas are displayed with a wide variety of antiques, photos, clothing, and personal belongings of citizens of Van Alstyne's past. Entrance is free, but no photography is allowed. A single staff member works the desk. The hours of operation are slim, only a couple a day. If you're passing through it's a neat stop. If you have family history in this area help the museum out by looking through binders of unidentified photographs. You might find a relative or two. My personal favorite displays were the personal grooming items.
