Heritage Center Museum

Designed as a cultural tourism and an expanded education destination Frisco Heritage Center should provide a dynamic picture of the historical city, so that visitors, families, and their guests can have the opportunity to experience a little of what it was like to live and work in Frisco during the last 100+ years. The site is strategically located near the new City Hall complex and the Senior Center. The results of the Phase I funding, which was approved in the 2002 bond package, can be seen in the developing infrastructure and the placement of several historic structures. Phase II funding, which would come through the proposed 2006 bond package, would be used to construct the Frisco Heritage Museum building and to continue the development of the Center site.

Centered around the Frisco Heritage Museum, which would feature hands-on exhibits depicting life in and around the city, plans for the Heritage Center include the Lebanon Baptist Church, the Crozier Covington Sickles House, the Smith Muse House, a typical one room schoolhouse, a log cabin, a dog trot style house, the Stark trolley, a restored Frisco Railroad engine and caboose, a variety of farming equipment, an iron bridge, a windmill, the infamous "calaboose", and recreations of the Gaby Blacksmith Shop, the Foncine General Store, Lane's Garage, the Frisco Train Depot - plus many future additions. Designed as a "living center", the plans are for many of the buildings to house stores, shops, businesses, meeting rooms, classroom and teaching facilities, a possible restaurant, perhaps a bed-and-breakfast, as well as additional exhibits and displays.
