“A.W. Perry Homestead Museum offers a glimpse of life in north central Texas at the turn of the 20th century. A.W. and Sarah (Huffman) Perry were pioneer homesteaders of Peters Colony who came to Carrollton in 1844 from Carrollton, Illinois. They claimed 640 acres and built a house on this farm in 1857. In 1909, their son DeWitt Perry and his wife, Francis (Grimes), tore down the first house and used some lumber to build the present-day house. This structure is now the Museum, restored in 1976 for the bicentennial. The museum aims to provide innovative, diverse, and quality recreation and leisure opportunities for everyone while preserving City parks and natural resources that contribute to the safety, health, and enjoyment of its customers.”
