The Arlington Historical Society is where the past is a present to the future. The staff works hard to continue to preserve the history, stories and events that have gone to shape the Arlington of today. One of Arlington's most historically significant sites is the Knapp Heritage Park. Located in downtown Arlington, this structure offers a glimpse at pioneer life. The park consists of a one-room schoolhouse, a one-room cabin, a dog trot cabin and the Bardin barn. Be sure to look for the general store in James Knapp's law office, as it is a recognized landmark from the Arlington Preservation Society.
Arlington's River Legacy Park lives up to its name by striving to preserve the area's natural amenities in ways that will not only enhance them, but to also preserve them in order to pass them on to future generations. The River Legacy Foundation's various projects and endeavors work to accomplish that mission. When you visit this outdoor attraction, remember to spend time in the Living Science Center, a 12,000-square-foot facility that captures some of nature's most compelling scenes within the structure's sustainable design. The park itself is like a slice of nature tucked within Arlington's urban landscape. This park curves along the Trinity River creating a beautiful place to relax and enjoy some of North Texas' most visually stunning scenery.
