Heritage Farmstead Museum (HFM) is a dynamic history education resource and historic farm site connecting all people to rural life experiences.
Core programs include school field trips, tours and exhibits for all ages exploring rural life on the Blackland Prairie. The museum is responsible for the protection/preservation/restoration of a 4-acre farm site, historic house and 15 original structures built in 1891 and serves as a beloved community venue for large community gatherings and special events for North Texas.
HFM served over 35,000 visitors in 2022, 30% of our visitors are school-age children, 75% are families.
Funds will support general operating costs for our education programs/tours/livestock/exhibits, capital campaign and expansion of our administrative office space and museum collection area.
The Mission of the Heritage Farmstead Museum is to collect, preserve and interpret late 19th and early 20th century Blackland Prairie history while making appropriate use of the authentically restored Farrell-Wilson Farmstead, a designated historic site.
The Heritage Farmstead Museum respects, values and celebrates the unique attributes, characteristics and perspectives that make each person who they are. We believe that our strength lies in our diversity among the broad range of people that we represent. We consider diversity and inclusion a driver of institutional excellence and seek out diversity of participation, thought and action. It is our aim, therefore, that our members, partners, key stakeholders reflect and embrace these core values.
