Frankford Preservation Foundation

The Frankford Preservation Foundation is dedicated to protecting and celebrating a truly rare and sacred place in the heart of Dallas—a five-acre nature and heritage preserve that feels untouched by time.

 Nestled within a bustling modern city, the Frankford site is a living window into the past. It features:

• A preserved stretch of the Blackland Prairie, one of the most endangered ecosystems in Texas
• The Historic Frankford Church, a striking example of late 19th-century Prairie Gothic architecture
• The natural Indian Springs, a pure water source once vital to travelers on the historic Shawnee Trail

 
What makes Frankford extraordinary is that it remains much as it was over a century ago. In a rapidly developing region, this historic nature preserve is a rare and vital opportunity to teach the community about North Texas history, the cultural legacy of early settlers and Indigenous peoples, and the importance of prairie land conservation.

The Frankford Preservation Foundation is committed to stewarding this land and its stories for future generations. Through:

• Charitable, educational, and cultural programs
• Seasonal tours of native prairie meadows
• Special events that explore the ecological, historical, and spiritual significance of this place

 
We ensure that the Frankford Blackland Prairie, Historic Frankford Church, and Indian Springs remain vibrant, meaningful, and protected.

Join us in preserving this unique piece of Texas heritage—your support helps keep Frankford alive for the generations to come.
