Magnificent events and activities for kids are available as are field trips. The two kids and adults will appreciate a visit to the museum. It houses historical Plano photos, interesting rail line artifacts, instructive science experiments and a model train going through a small scale turn-of-the-century Plano. This is the last sub-station model on the Interurban line, which served as an essential stop on the Texas Electric Railway, connecting Denison and Dallas starting in 1908. The Interurban effect on rustic life was sensational as it finished the isolation of distant homestead families. In addition to the fact that it brought the mail, salesmen and new products to small towns and their stores, however it gave country residents a means to investigate the brilliant lights and enormous city economically and safely. Admission is free, yet a small gift to support the museum is suggested. After your visit, you could walk through lovely Haggard Park, or walk to any of the restaurants and shops in midtown Plano. Or then again, you could always have a ride the DART train to contrast it with its vintage cousin a couple hundred feet away.
