Home on the Plains: Penn Farm Tour

Living life on the Texas prairie was always an adventure!

People persevered through the North Texas winds and summer heat without all the creature comforts we have today. Join Ranger Will for this program as we explore the lives of the first farmers to inhabit what is now known as the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex and investigate the lives of the Penn family and their farm. This walk will be about 0.6 miles along the Penn Farm trail.

Where: Penn Farm Parking Lot

Bring: Water, and a snack if you need one.
