"Explore what Blackland Prairie life was like in Texas during the late 19th/early 20th century at the Heritage Farmstead Museum. With 10,000 objects and archival materials, revolving exhibits showcasing day-to-day life during that time, and plenty of interactive activities for people of all ages, this museum is a great way to take a break from the hustle and bustle of modern Texas and soak in a simpler time.

"About 20 miles north of Dallas, Heritage Farmstead is a 4.5 acre living history museum. My daughter always said history is boring — until I took her to Colonial Williamsburg. Living history museums bring history to life for kids."

"Built in 1891, the Heritage Farmstead is an active farm that will take you and you back in time. It is a living history site where you can experience life on the Texas Blackland Prairie in the 19th century."

"Located in the Chinatown Shopping Center in Richardson, Jeng Chi is one of the metroplex's top destinations for dumplings, which come in around a dozen varieties, ranging from vegetarian and curry chicken to lobster & pork. The offerings don't stop at dumplings, though, also expect to find a wide array of dishes from Taiwan and mainland China such as hot pots, sizzling plates and noodles galore. Oh, and did we mention this place specializes in desserts?"

"SUCH a locals' favorite, this place is the place for Friday night dumplings (with or without a group, #TreatYoSelf). You'll find it in the China Town shopping center next to another favorite on this list, Genroku. Since it's a well-beloved Chinese/Taiwanese place we highly recommend making a reservation on a weekend night, although the wait isn't usually too long (especially since the dumplings are well worth it)."

"A favorite of multiple Dallas chefs, Jeng Chi serves a lengthy menu of Chinese favorites, plus custom cakes and even a full bar. Start with marinated eggs, salty duck, or marinated tripe, then move on to heartier plates like dan dan noodles or a big plate of steaming soup dumplings. Jeng Chi is offering dine-in service, pickup or delivery via GrubHub."

"Just north of Dallas in Plano is the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve. You can easily spend all day here (if you bring a picnic). The 200-acre park has miles of hiking and biking trails, a playground, and lots of opportunities for spotting wildlife, from coyotes to woodpeckers."

"Located in Plano, Texas, Arbor Hills Nature Preserve is a wonderful display of natural beauty near Dallas. If you’re looking for places to go that are beautiful and rewarding to experience, come here. It’s one of the most gorgeous places in the Dallas area."
