Very interesting assembly of old and significant buildings from McKinney’s past. Only the ice cream churn museum is open for going inside( no charge) unless you take the tour which tours 4 of the buildings for $10. Well worth your time
MoreWent on a tour a while back and thoroughly enjoyed it. Went with visiting relatives and apparently they are only open one day a week. We were able to walk the grounds.
MoreI went for the Saturday historic house tour, but appreciate the community feel of the farmer's market - I would probably make this a semi-regular stop if I lived in the area / has a small town feel. The tour itself is fine, but not really in depth. Our guide was enthusiastic but somewhat limited beyond what she'd read, declarations to the contrary. It's nice to see these places preserved and the upkeep must be expensive given what I'd imagine revenue is, so you really can't fault what I would imagine must be the volunteer staff. Good of the town to assist in saving this and adding some flavor to the community. On balance it's worth a stop, and even a drive out of your way for something to day Saturday a.m.
MoreWe stopped at the Chestnut Square Historic Village but found out that they were closed on Tuesday so we walked around the grounds. There were several buildings that could be toured when open.
MoreThe farmers market is a great event at this historic location. The building are unique and have good history.
