Introduction

The Old Red Museum occupies the 1892 red-sandstone Old Red Courthouse, a Dallas County landmark. Inside, lively interactive exhibits trace North Texas from Native peoples and the cattle kingdom to the oil and aviation eras, with artifacts and images of the city's growth. The restored historic courtroom beneath the clock tower and the red brick with stained glass invite lingering looks. It is both the gateway to Dallas's past and an essential stop on the Dealey Plaza history trail.
