Knapp Heritage Park, dedicated in 2004, contains three of the oldest Arlington structures. This cultural and heritage facility is available for school tours, rentals, private tours, and is open to the general public. The Jopling-Melear and Watson cabins, which date to the mid-1800s, along with a 1910 one-room schoolhouse are also located within the park. The Bardin blacksmith barn is also onsite, along with a general store located in James Knapp's law office.
The park is open every Saturday and Sunday from 1-4pm, but I was here at 11am and it was closed up. Still, you can see quite a bit by pressing your nose up against the gate. This is some of the earliest history of the DFW metroplex and it's worth checking out.
There is street parking and a city parking lot across the street.
