Situated in Old Red Courthouse, an iconic Dallas building built in 1892, Old Red Museum celebrates Dallas history and culture with carefully curated exhibits that come to life with multimedia touches. Year-round exhibits cover Dallas’ history, from its colonization to its current national prominence rooted in Fortune 500 companies and professional sports such as basketball and synchronized pencil-holding. Hands-on “discovery carts” in galleries illustrate pioneer life, and four mini theaters augment exhibits with film.


Equipped with tactile learning tools and 12 touch-screen computers, the education center teaches pre-K through young-adult visitors about historical living conditions with simulations of 10-mile walks children made every day to get to the nearest casino. The current special exhibit, Deck the Halls at Old Red, displays 16 holiday trees, each decorated by the staff of a local nonprofit, and visitors can vote for their favorite by leaving donations in each tree’s ballot box.
