Our Great City

The Southlake Historical Society invites you and your family to a behind-the-scenes tour of the historic Nash Farm, 626 Ball St. near downtown Grapevine, at 6:30 p.m., Monday, Sept. 15.

"This farm represents the agrarian heritage of Southlake, too" said Anita Robeson, president of the Southlake Historical Society. "This tour is a great way to reminisce about farm life, or to show your children what it was like."

Land for the farm was purchased in 1859 by Thomas and Elizabeth Nash, who first lived in a log cabin. Their 1880s farmhouse has recently been restored and painted its original color, a WOW! shade of green. The farmstead also boasts a barn, crops, an array of interesting farm machinery and much more.

You don't have to be an SHS member to attend. RSVP to Anita, 817-896-4280. Please park on Homestead Avenue, in front of the house.
