Explore, Learn, and Engage at Doss Heritage

Songs, crafts, a fun story and a tasty snack await your preschooler at Doss Preschool Storytime. We aim to provide a safe space for socialization and learning for your littles.

Gather around the campfire at Pioneer Cabin Park for an evening of weenie roasting, s’mores and fall fun under the Texas sky. Little ones can dress up and trick-or-treat through our historical log cabins and enjoy small games along the way. It’s a cozy, old-fashioned Halloween the whole family will love!

This month, we will be taking advantage of all the falling leaves and making leaf-printed cards. This is a study in texture, color and shape that anyone with an artist’s eye will appreciate.

 Students will explore who lived in unsettled North Central Texas, how people used the resources around them, which animals shared the landscape and how native plants supported both people and wildlife. Through hands-on activities, art and lively discussion, we will begin to unravel the truths of the past.

Get ready to churn, mix, and mingle! Join us for a hands-on butter-making experience where you’ll learn to make and process your own butter, then customize it with herbs and spices to create delicious, one-of-a-kind flavor combinations.

This program is for adults 18+.

Let’s learn how to make bread in a bag! Students will get a short lesson on how important simple foods were to survival on the Texas frontier and then we will get hands-on. 

We continue our study of the Tools of the Trade: Building the West By Hand exhibit on display in the museum with The Blacksmith.
