History folks quick tour.

This former Post Office, bank building now holds a nice little museum. Currant exhiibt is World War I / II. Uses an interactive iPad after docent takes you around a little bit. Something nice to do on a cold, windy day.

Peach picking weekend

This is a must do activity if you are looking for something different. Good energy in the tour guide today. Good information and Q&A during our tour. Good activity for young children to enjoy a bit of look into the past of our local history.

Good museum

We stopped here as we had been wanting to come for a long while and we were not disappointed There were several exhibits regarding both early Texas and early McKinney history. The 20 minute documentary entitled "Once A Nation" was very well done.

Great Vietnam War exhibit

Local gentlemen who were Vietnam vets have put together an amazingly extensive exhibit. Lots of personal "memorabilia" -- weapons, photos, uniforms, etc. Plus they have included a simulated "Hanoi Hilton" so that visitors can understand what it was like to be caged as the POWs...More

This unassuming little museum has a treasure trove of little stories that won't be apparent until you talk to the people inside. When you come in, look to your right and you will seee the Keppler Mural. Be sure to ask about it as it...More
