The Layland is a medium-sized museum in a beautiful structure in the heart of downtown Cleburne.

Exhibits discuss everyday life and visitors relate well to photographs of children with pets, women in hats, and men posing with fishes. It is an easy museum to wander through. Though small in exhibit space the Layland hopes to present a significant cultural program experience. Greater public programming is the immediate goal. Concerts in the park and a major traveling exhibit from New York State Museum, "RECOVERY: The World Trade Center Recovery Operation," will occupy summer of 2004.

Lee County Heritage Society ; Lee County Museum
Giddings, Texas

History

Welcome to the Hardmeyer-York House. This house was built in 1874 by a carpenter and his two stepsons.

In those days, it was not easy to build a lovely home like this. For instance, the wide cypress flooring you see here was obtained by taking a wagon pulled by a team of oxen all the way to Louisiana. The fancy woodwork and trim that had to be all done by hand. There were no power tools in those days.

Of course, they had no electricity, running water, or gas, but they were very ingenious and resourceful. For instance, the transoms over the front, back, and inside doors allow air circulation when open thereby keeping them cool.

For heat, there is a fireplace in each room with every two fireplaces sharing a common chimney.

Log Cabin Village
Fort Worth, Texas

History, Historic House, Specialized

In the 1950s, nineteenth century log structures were quickly vanishing from the North Texas landscape. In order to preserve them and the history of pioneer settlement in North Texas, a group of residents formed the Pioneer Texas Heritage Committee. This committee selected and acquired six log structures of varying architectural styles with the vision of creating a "log cabin village." With the help of Fort Worth's Parks Department, a wooded spot near the Trinity River in Forest Park was selected as the site for this village. However, after all the cabins were moved there, the committee encountered many problems. There was not enough money or support to restore and furnish the structures. Many council members and residents even opposed the project.
