Welcome to the Heritage Association of Frisco

March 22nd, 2012
Frisco Heritage MuseumThe Heritage Association of Frisco is dedicated to saving Frisco’s history. Once a small agricultural community that saw little change in its population for decades, Frisco now bears the distinction of one of Texas’ fastest growing cities. Recognizing that the current flood of building and development would erase much of Frisco’s history, The Heritage Association organized in 1998 and set a goal to “research, preserve and share” the town’s rich heritage.
 
Today the organization is one of the most successful in Frisco’s history. The Heritage Association has served the city and its developers as a resource for identifying historic sites that has resulted in the preservation and commemoration of such places as the Crozier-Sickles house, Twin Wells and Cotton Gin Road. The organization has been instrumental in the creation and planning of Heritage Center Park and museum.
 
Whether you are a long time resident or new to Frisco, we invite you to browse our web site and encourage you to participate and support this worthy organization. It’s a great way to make Frisco your hometown! If you would like more information, you are welcome to contact our executive board.

Quanah Parker – Last Chief of the Comanches : April 11 – May 27

Photo collection exhibition at the Heritage Museum

Quanah Parker was the eldest son of Cynthian Ann Parker and Comanche war chief Peta Nocona. At age nine, Cynthia Ann was captured during a raid by the Indians and grew up with the Comanches. She was recaptured almost 20 years later by the Texas Rangers and returned to her family where she never assimilated back into the white culture. Her eldest son, Quanah, led his people as they resisted encroachment by the whites and later as a statesman on their behalf as they entered the 20th century. The exhibit features photos of Quanah that reflect his life as he blended the Indian and White cultures of his heritage.

 Presented by the Heritage Association of Frisco, the collection is managed by the Texas Lakes Trail division of the Texas Historic Commission.

See the exhibit at the Heritage Museum 6455 Page St. Wednesday – Saturday 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday 1-5 p.m. Museum admission is $8 family; $4 adults; $2 children 5-11; free children 4 and under.

If there are areas you would want to work in please contact the volunteer coordinator. There will always be a need for volunteers, so if you can’t volunteer now, do keep us in mind. Thank you so much for your interest and we look forward to your participation.
