Description
Originally built in 1886 as the site for the first "Dallas State Fair and Exposition," Fair Park has developed over the past 120 years into a year-round treasure. Still the host for the annual State Fair of Texas, the park is also home to a half dozen permanent museums, major music and theatrical venues, the Cotton Bowl, exhibition buildings, and gardens.
Fair Park's history as the site for legendary sporting events, cultural activities, and military encampments is a colorful and fascinating one. But its future promises to be even brighter, thanks to dramatic improvements proposed under a new Master Plan.
The Dallas Historical Society's new exhibit, "Fair Park-Our Park" recalls the past while offering hints of the future.
