The newest museum in Texas has opened its doors; the Frisco Heritage Museum showcases the history of Frisco in a two-story, 18,000 square foot complex.
Dedicated to highlighting the City’s history, the two-phase $5.5 million project is the focal point of Frisco Junction. The interactive museum featuring hands-on exhibits will allow visitors to understand how the early citizens of Frisco lived, worked, and played.
A living village has been recreated with replicas of the Lebanon Baptist Church, a one-room school house, a log cabin, the Smith Muse house, and the Frisco Train Depot.
Frisco CVB Executive Director Marla Roe says, “The Heritage Museum enhances our other cultural offerings, such as the Texas Sculpture Garden, and is the first of several museums under development that will fill Frisco Junction.” Plans call for an expanded 12-acre Museum of the American Railroad to move to Frisco within the next year.
