Historic Grapevine, Texas
G
By Cody Jolliff, Manager of Heritage Museums & Educations Programs
Grapevine, Texas, centrally located between Dallas and Fort Worth is home to many historic experiences. Museums, historic sites, a vintage railroad and much more make for a family-friendly destination topped off by a stay at a world-class resort or hotel. Grapevine was settled in 1844 and so named for the wild mustang grapes that grew across the rich black soil of the Grape Vine Prairie. The land supported farmers from early subsistence farming, to the Post-Civil War era cotton production and on to produce farming and dairy industry well into the 20th century. Grapevine’s rich culture and agrarian heritage are preserved today with several museums and historic attractions from early 19th century log structures to the roaring locomotives of the railroad. Nash Farm, Tarrant County’s oldest operating farmstead, is featured just a few blocks from Historic Main Street. The Farm is open daily and features living history activities focused on the late 19th century history of the farm. Heirloom varieties of vegetables can be found in the kitchen garden as well as field crops of cotton, wheat and corn. The Farm raises heritage livestock including Gulf Coast Native Sheep, Kentucky Red Bourbon Turkeys and Speckled Sussex Chickens.
Thomas Jefferson Nash and his wife Elisabeth purchased the Farm in 1859 with an established log cabin. The family 4

raised a total of five daughters and a son. In 1869, they built the two-story green farmhouse that stands today. The Farmhouse has been restored and furnished for visitors
to experience today with hands-on activities. The Nash Farm barn is also original to the site and is fully restored and functional in supporting the livestock operations. The grounds also include outbuildings, poultry houses, a windmill and a pole barn pavilion
for special events. The farm also features a Farm Store, complete with souvenirs and replica items reminiscent of an old-fashioned general store. Nash Farm hosts a wide variety of events and programs each year including family festivals, heritage workshops, farm suppers, vintage baseball, historic social events and more. Heritage workshops include skills and trades often found on the Grape Vine Prairie from hog butchering,
sewing, food preservation, cooking and more. Events include hands-on family learning elements such as pie making, carpentry, gardening and much more.
Travel along Heritage Trail just two blocks from Nash Farm and you’ll find the beautiful Settlement to City Museums. The area includes five structures detailing the story of Grapevine. The 1888 Keeling House was the family home of the owner of the long-running Grapevine Sun Newspaper. The museum inside the home chronicles how Grapevine developed from a pioneer settlement into a world-class city and visitor destination. Guests will also discover a working 1881 Chandler & Price printing press and even try their hand at printing with living historians. Step back to a simpler time inside the Donald Schoolhouse. You can have a seat at a desk for a lesson or dismiss class with the school bell. Head over next door to learn about Grapevine’s rich cotton production in the late 19th century at the Cotton Ginners Museum. Guests can view a restored E. Van Winkle Gin. The Grapevine Historical Society’s collection is presented through first-rate exhibits inside the replica ice house belonging to the Grapevine Ice Company. Just across Main Street you’ll enter the Cotton Belt Railroad District home to the Grapevine Vintage Railroad (GVRR). The 1888 Cotton Belt Depot welcomes you to an excursion onboard the GVRR Victorian-style coaches. Powering the railroad are four locomotives including three mid-century diesel-electric locomotives and “Puffy,” an 1896 steam locomotive. GVRR operates on the weekends throughout the year with
excursions to the Historic Stockyards Station in Fort Worth as well as special events throughout the year from Jazz Wine Trains to the famed North Pole Express®.
The Railroad district is also home to working artist studios and other historic museums. Studios include glassblowing, a bronze foundry and other traditional arts. Historic museum shops include the Grapevine Tin Shop at the Bragg House and Millican’s Blacksmith Shop. The area
also features a four-crib log barn and the Cotton Belt Route Section Foreman House adjacent to the GVRR platform. The exhibit “Aprons of the Past: Skills & Trades on the Grape Vine Prairie” is presented throughout the museums. ABOUT GRAPEVINE, TEXAS Historic Grapevine, Texas, centrally located between Dallas and Fort Worth, is the premiere go-to destination when planning a getaway or vacation in North Texas! Step back in time on Historic Main Street with a collection of charming boutiques, art galleries and bistros and cafes. Enjoy fantastic hotels and resorts, great attractions for the entire family, a wide variety of outdoor recreational activities, exquisite winery tasting rooms, world-class shopping and much more.

West is Among the Best for Culture and Shopping-and-Dining Delights
H
by Michael H. Price
“Happy to follow the bumpy brick road,” reads a newspaper headline from 1981 — a lasting assertion that Camp Bowie Boulevard’s historic brick pavement must endure, and never mind the occasional traffic-engineering idea of modernizing the pathway with concrete and asphalt. Now as then, seekers of entertainment, adventure, and dining experiences remain “happy to follow the bumpy brick road,” as a principal gateway to Fort Worth’s west side and its many commercial and civic offshoots. The attractions range from a burgeoning West 7th Street district to a broadening cultural and historical district – connecting southward with University Park Village, westward with the Chapel Hill shopping-andentertainment development, and branching out further with new moviegoing venues, boutique eateries, and varied opportunities for strolling and sightseeing amid architectural innovations on a comfortably human scale. Pioneering publisher and civic booster Amon Carter characterized Fort Worth as “where the West begins.” And for locals and visitors alike, the west side marks the beginning of that beginning: The West hardly could have picked a keener starting point than Fort Worth. Prominent among the newer landmarks is Dickies Arena, a versatile 14,000-seat showplace named after the Fort Worthbased manufacturer of workplace clothing. Located at 1911 Montgomery Street within the Will Rogers Memorial Center, Dickies Arena complements and expands the scope of the adjacent Will Rogers Complex, providing a new home for the Fort Worth Stock Show Rodeo. And Fort Worth, in turn, hardly could have picked a site more right for its burgeoning west side Cultural District.

tury, the west side overall has seen its very skyline change with the transformation of a busy West 7th Street into a streamlined conduit connecting the downtown area’s Sundance Square development with the Cultural District. Heading west (naturally) from downtown Fort Worth, one finds the Cultural District radiating from the intersection where Seventh Street crosses University Drive and, in the process, morphs into the historic, brickpaved Camp Bowie Boulevard. Visitors in search of western-style discoveries — from plain-and-fancy dining, to fine art and varied entertainment — will find such delights in volume on the west side. Cultural attractions, restaurants, mainstream and special-interest shopping, and lavish natural gardens flourish as a reminder of how Fort Worth has built upon its frontier origins. Several of the world’s finer museums, playhouses and galleries anchor a vast Cultural District. The hand-laid red-brick pavement of Camp Bowie Boulevard is an attraction in itself, lined with an ever-expanding array of art galleries, stage-and-screen auditoriums, boutiques, scholarly museums, restaurants and lounges, and shopping malls. One long-standing favorite, Domain XCIV, 3100 W. 7th Street, originated in 1994 along Camp Bowie Boulevard. Persistent growth has led to a 6,500-square-foot showcase, combining fine furniture and vintage European treasures and accessories. Collections include Theodore Alexander, Wesley Hall, and Guild Master. Domain XCIV has long supplied anchorage for the villagewithin-a-city developments of the West 7th Street area. A newly settled popular attraction, the Grand Berry Theatre at 2712 Weisenberger Drive, emerges as a showplace for independent and art-house motion pictures, complementing the mainstream Hollywood movies at Movie Tavern West 7th and

enhancing the art-film fare that the Modern Art Museum has brought since the early 2000s via its Magnolia at the Modern screening series. The Grand Berry is an early example of the expanding entertainment potential of the historic Foundry District, located north of Montgomery Plaza. Farther along to the west of the west, the newly dedicated Como Community Center’s $12 million complex at 4660 Horne Street has installed a gymnasium, a library, after-school activity centers, and all-ages activity programs. Luncheon attractions, sparked by the addition of Alabama-based Chicken Salad Chick in Ridglea Village, have grown to include such established draws as Blue Bonnet Bakery, Feastivities, Secret Garden Restaurant, and The Lunch Box. Wild Acre Brewing Co. has opened a Camp Bowie location to complement its downtown home base. A longtime popular favorite, Ol’ South Pancake House at 1509 S. University Drive, anchors the lower reaches of the west-by-south side and lends a sense of history to the immediate area’s dining opportunities. University Park Village, too, is rich in variety — a high-end shopping district offering such popular brands as Ann Taylor, Williams Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Anthropogenie, and lululemon, among casual and fine-dining experiences alike, and the high-tech wonderland of the Apple Store. The Cultural District The Fort Worth Museum of Science & History commands the westward view of the district from Montgomery Street, and just northward are additional cultural touchstones: Designed by renowned architect Philip Johnson, the Amon Carter Museum of American Art houses a definitive collection of American paintings, photography, and sculpture. The collection spans early nineteenth-century art to mid-twentieth century modernism. It is also home to nearly 400 works by Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell. Nearby is the Kimbell Art Museum still living up to Newsweek’s description as “arguably the most beautiful museum in America” including its new Renzo Piano Pavilion addition. The neigh8

boring Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth is the oldest such museum in Texas — housed in a work-of-art 2002 building designed by world-renowned Japanese architect, Tadao Ando, and featuring bold gallery exhibitions, concert attractions and, every weekend, leading-edge independentstudio films. The Museum of Science & History, anchoring a campus within the Cultural District, has been designed by similarly renowned architects Ricardo and Victor Legorreta. Inside the Museum of Science & History, one finds vast galleries of Texasbred dinosaur specimens and the state’s oiland-gas heritage, in addition to the Cattle Raisers Museum, the Fort Worth Children’s Museum, Stars Café, and the digital Noble Planetarium.The OmniTheater, an IMAX® superscreen dome, links with the Museum of Science & History and boasts a new digital sound system and enhanced lighting. The National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame is next door to the FWMS&H. The NCM&HF honors women of the American West from those who lived and worked on ranches or who led an expedition, or sat before an easel, aimed a rifle and hit the bull’s eye, or sat on the Supreme Court. When the museum meanderings trigger an appetite for fine dining, two long-established, museum-based cafés stand ready to serve. The Kimbell Buffet Restaurant offers indoor or patio lunch and a light evening menu within one of the most beautiful modern buildings in America. The Modern Art Museum’s 250-seat Café Modern, with an outdoor terrace, overlooks a serene reflecting pond. The Modern’s full-service kitchen delivers superb cuisine for lunch, Sunday brunch, and scheduled seasonal dinners. Neighboring the museum community is the city’s landmark Will Rogers Memorial Center, a versatile 85-acre entertainment complex — with 45 acres housing the Will Rogers Coliseum & Auditorium. Its majestic Pioneer Tower dates from the Texas Centennial Celebration of 1936. Still a dominant feature within the district, the coliseum holds pride of place as the first domed structure of its kind in the world. The complex also boasts an equestrian center and exhibit halls, home to the annual Fort Worth Stock Show.
Showplaces of Heritage and Artistry and Nature Southward off University Drive, visitors can experience the glories of nature at Trinity Park, a pristine oasis bordered by a fork of the placid Trinity River. Here, picnickers, joggers, and strollers can explore meandering pathways or travel on a miniature railroad. Opposite the park, across University Drive, Fort Worth’s Botanic Garden beckons — the oldest such site in Texas, a lush 109-acre tapestry of dappled shade accented by vibrant splashes of color. The Garden is home to thousands of species of native and exotic plants in 21 specialty gardens.The Europeandesigned Rose Garden features more than 3,400 roses, and the 10,000-square-foot Conservatory houses tropical flowers and foliage from around the world. An on-site Gardens Restaurant serves light lunches and refreshments — with a view of the Garden and a varied gallery that often displays the work of local artists. Adjacent to the Botanic Garden is the Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT) whose mission is to “reduce
its footprint on the natural world as well as protect and restore ecosystem services.” BRIT’s building was designed as an example of how much of this can be accomplished. A short distance southward lies the illustrious Fort Worth Zoo, nationally ranked among the finest. The Zoo is home to thousands of animals, both native and exotic. Viewing facilities and natural habitat exhibits are set up for optimal views of the animals, often separated from their observers by only a river, a waterfall, or a large window. Shaded rest spots and picnic tables are available, with several on-site eateries. Across from the Zoo, Log Cabin Village offers another view of the city’s rich frontier history boasting seven authentic log homes, dating from the mid-to-late 1800s. Perioddressed interpreters greet visitors inside each cabin offering a living history of the home and its origin. The mood to explore might be triggered by art, dining, shopping, or the wonders of nature. Fort Worth’s west side meets all these interests and then some!

The panoramic views of the Stockyards and glimmering lights of downtown are more than enough to keep you coming back trip after trip, but the carefully curated food and drink menu are what sets Ático apart from all the dining options available in the Stockyards. A wide array of Spanish-inspired drink and food options are available to those looking to expand their horizons and take a quick trip to Barcelona. ¡Vamos!

THE BISCUIT BAR - #TheBiscuitBar has finally come to Fort Worth, and I couldn’t be more grateful or, suddenly, hungrier. Located in the Stockyards’ hip Mule Alley, Biscuit Bar is the brainchild of Jake and Janie Burkett. After undergoing a personal family tragedy, in classic southern style they were showered with a bounty of literal comfort food. One item kept standing out and repeating itself, though: biscuits. So, the couple played with the idea of creating a build-your-own-biscuit bar at home, featuring biscuits made from scratch and lush toppings such as fried chicken, maple syrup, scrambled eggs, gravy, crispy bacon, and, of course, butter. Every menu item was created in the Burkett home kitchen, and the growing family decided to give the gift of comfort food right back to DFW. Come for the biscuits, stay for cocktails called “cereal sips” like their Cinnamon Toast Punch. Be sure to allocate time for a food coma snooze afterward. Sun.-Thurs. 8 a.m.-9 p.m., Fri. & Sat. 8 a.m.-10 p.m. 128 E. Exchange Ave., #640, www.thebiscuit.bar. CAFÉ MODERN - Café Modern’s artfully crafted cuisine is served against the backdrop of Tadao Ando’s iconic architecture in the thriving Fort Worth Cultural District. They believe that great menus start with fresh, naturally produced ingredients which are cooked exclusively from scratch, using whole grains and vegetables, cage-free eggs, and humanely treated chickens and beef raised without antibiotics or growth hormones. They blend seasonal foods from local artisan producers with diverse culinary traditions from around the globe. Café Modern’s Executive Chef is Texas native Denise Shavandy. She has a wide range of experience in the culinary arts and is thrilled to be in Fort Worth, as her culinary career got its start at The Pegasus and Spice International Café. From farm fresh, seasonal, local ingredients, she uses classical culinary techniques that preserve nutrition and maximize healthfulness. Lunch Wed.-Fri. 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m., brunch Sat. & Sun. 10 a.m.-3 p.m., full bar service Wed., Thurs., Sat. & Sun. 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Fri. 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Lunch/ bar service Tues. & dinner Fri. will resume at a later date.

An example for the first course is Reata signature jalepeño and cilantro soup. The main course could be pan-seared pepper crusted tenderloin with port wine sauce with sides like bourbon creamed corn and bacon wrapped asparagus. Finish your meal with a dessert classic or something new, like dessert tacos with caramelized bananas and chocolate gravy.

Fort Worth finally got its very own Shake Shack. Longtime lovers of the Shack will be thrilled, and people who’ve yet to go to one will be receiving a personal wellness check from me.

Let’s just say this- people love Shake Shack so much they get tattoos of the logo and cater their weddings with it.

SID RICHARDSON MUSEUM - The museum’s focus exhibition, “IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT: Winslow Homer & Frederic Remington” affords the rare opportunity to display works by Winslow Homer, considered by many to be the greatest American artist of the late nineteenth century, alongside the works of Frederic Remington, the premier painter of the West. Many similarities can be found in their art and artistic careers. Homer and Remington both came from similar backgrounds, both capturing the imagination of the American public through their creation of popular images in publications such as Harper’s Weekly and Scribner’s Monthly. From their work in illustration, both developed a set of character types that they returned to again and again. Both were rugged outdoorsmen who drew upon their experiences in nature as subjects in their art. Both documented war, with Homer the Civil War, and Remington the American Indian Wars and later the Spanish American War in Cuba. Hrs. Mon.-Thurs. 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Fri. & Sat. 9 a.m.-8 p.m., Sun. noon-5 p.m. Free admission and free tours. Free valet parking in Sundance Square.

To relive the incredible life of a pioneer on the Grape Vine Prairie, visitors can participate in the Grapevine Pioneers Storybook Adventure Passport which runs through September 20. Kids can take part in a variety of 1800s skills and trade activities, including making a wooden boat, weaving yarn into the shape of a flower, creating a tin nameplate and decorating a bandana. This Christmas, our Elf Adventure Christmas Passport will return and will include a variety of activities, such as stamping a brass gift tag at Millican’s Blacksmith Shop, making a piece of metal tinsel at the Grapevine Tin Shop at the Bragg House and decorating a Christmas train ornament. Families can also visit the Cotton Belt Railroad Historic District home to artisans’ workshops, including a glassblowing studio, a bronze foundry and blacksmith shop. The District is most known for the 1888 Cotton Belt Railroad Depot, which services the Grapevine Vintage Railroad. Here, guests can step back in time and ride in style inside 1920s Victorianera coaches on the Grapevine One-Hour Excursions. For more information about accommodations, attractions or summer events, please contact the Grapevine Convention & Visitors Bureau at 817410-3185 or visit www.GrapevineTexasUSA.com.
