On the cover…

Spring Blooms! is a popular family event hosted by the A.W. Perry Homestead Museum. Texas’ state flower provides a beautiful setting for an afternoon of sweet moments captured by a professional photographer.

As we all know, the bluebonnets and wild flowers that paint the 10-acre setting of Pearl Perry Gravley Park never last as long as we’d like, so mark your calendars for the afternoon of Saturday, April 16. The onsite photographer will provide one free digital image per family. Portrait times are limited! The event also includes old-fashioned games, cookies and lemonade, and even a bluebonnet craft for the little ones.

Register for events and classes online at cityofcarrollton.com/signupnow Registration for Carrollton residents begins November 30.

Non-resident registration begins December 14.

Classes begin January 4.

Located within beautiful Pearl Perry Gravley Park, the A.W. Perry Homestead Museum offers a glimpse of life as it was in north central Texas at the turn of the 20th Century. A.W. and Sarah Perry were pioneer homesteaders of the Peters Colony who arrived here in 1844 from Carrollton, Illinois. They built a house on this site in 1857. In 1909, their son Dewitt Perry and his wife Francis tore down the first house and used some of the lumber to build the present day home. This structure is now the Museum, restored in 1976 as the community’s U.S. Bicentennial celebration project and designated as a state historic landmark in 1977 by the Texas Historical Commission.

Free at The Museum Spring blooms!* Saturday, April 16 5pm

Movie on the Lawn* Saturday, April 30 8pm

*For full details about these events, see pages 16 & 17.

Homestead how-to day

Bring back a bit of traditional do-it-yourself know how, resourcefulness, and simplicity into your busy modern life. Topics to explore will include keeping bees, raised bed and community gardening, food preservation, and fiber arts. We’ll have local experts on hand to answer questions and share their experiences.

Want to start simple? We’ll have a make-and-take station for creating your own natural cleaning supplies using tried and true methods and basic ingredients. A children’s arts and crafts area will be available to keep the little ones busy.

The guided tour begins at the state historical marker and continues through the 1909 farmhouse with antique furnishings, where you will discover daily life as it was in Carrollton at the turn of the 20th Century. On the grounds, you will see a barn, root cellar, water well, and smokehouse. School tours are aligned with the TEKS standards for each grade level. A new tour geared towards 7th graders is now available and includes access to online resources and copies of primary source material for pre and post tour classroom discussions.

To schedule a school or group tour, contact the Museum two weeks before your requested tour date. Group tours are free, but donations are accepted. Call 972-466-6380 to make a reservation.

The History Mystery and School Days trunks contain hands-on artifacts for students to examine and an activity guide for teachers.

Turn your students into history detectives or pioneer school children. In the History Mystery trunk, students will uncover the past using artifacts, learn the basic principles of material culture, and observe and analyze artifacts in order to discover their uses. In the School Days trunk, students will compare and contrast how education has changed over the past 150 years, try on pioneer clothing, and even try to imagine what it will be like to go to school in the future! All activities are TEKS aligned. History Mystery is for grades 3, 4, and 5. School Days is for grades 1, 2, and 3. Trunks are a FREE service to local schools provided by the A.W. Perry Homestead Museum. Call the Museum today at 972-466-6380 to reserve a trunk for your class.

indian creek golf club

Due to the significant flooding event that severely affected the facility from May through August of 2015, Indian Creek Golf Club remained closed for much of the past year. Carrollton City Council discussed several options for moving forward with the community asset, and after careful analysis as well as outside feedback, it was determined the best course of action was to repair and re-open the 18-hole Lakes Course.

Repairs include work on bunkers, fairways, cart paths, irrigation, and debris removal. The goal is an opening date of April 2016.

The impact was greater on the Creek Course and is requiring more assessment to determine repair costs and options. Eagle Golf is planned to continue managing Indian Creek Golf Club. Check back for updates to this project via the City’s Facebook and Twitter pages.
