O n e m

o This past year, the second year as Chairman for Jolene Masur and the tenth year as President

for Gary Smith, Old City Park made an important transformation. As you can see from the cover

of this Report, our Board of Trustees voted to change the name of the museum to Dallas Heritage

Village. This move came after long and thoughtful study and consideration, guided by marketing

and advertising leader Publicis-USA, which donated its services to the museum to guide us

through the name-changing process.

o The Old City Park name remains as the location of Dallas Heritage Village, the nationally accredited, award-winning

living history museum that we have operated for almost forty years. The new name continues to honor the historical grounds

on which we operate—Old City Park—while giving proper clarification to our museum and its mission.

o One of our new marketing slogans on our T-shirts is: “I go back and forth in time.” At Dallas Heritage Village we believe

that we indeed exist in both the past and the future. Although we deal with the past on a daily basis, we are constantly

working for the future. While we pay this year’s financial obligations, we are setting up next year’s fund raising events. Our

continuing efforts to plan and raise money for the Education and Visitor Center will help the museum grow in service to the

community in future years. Further, we are working hard now to broaden our first-person interpretive Village programming,

with the 1901 Tejano program receiving a seed grant from the Summerlee Foundation in late 2005. Future plans call for an

ambitious 1861 and 1901 first-person African-American experience, and an expansion of the 1901 Orthodox Jewish Blum

House program.

o In keeping with positioning the museum for the future, it is also fitting that last year saw the launching of our great new

event, Gone to Texas. By moving our major fundraiser off site, we accommodated more people; by putting Texas in the

name, we broadened our appeal and staked our claim to a broader piece of Texas heritage than just Dallas. This daring move

proved to be successful, as the new event drew more than 650 in its first year. Now, as we are working on GTT 2006, we are

optimistic that it will continue to grow into a major source of operating revenue for Dallas Heritage Village and its Texas

history education programs.

o We hope you will enjoy reading about our past year, and hope to see you often in the future.

Preparing toServe theCommunityfor the Next40 Years

When marketing studies revealed that a largeportion of the public thought that “Old CityPark” was an old municipal park, focusgroups were formed to arrive at a new namefor the award-winning, nationally accreditedliving history museum. In fall of 2005, “OldCity Park”

became “Dallas Heritage Village,”complete with a new look, logo,brochures, signage, and website.

The name change, generously supported by the pro bono services of Publicis-USA and bysupport from Millet the Printer,happened on the eve of the museum’s 40th anniversary in2006. With an eye toward serving the community for thenext forty years, “Dallas HeritageVillage” is taking additional stepsin 2006 to position the museumas the Southwest’s premier living history museum.

managed by the Dallas County Heritage

Society (DCHS) on behalf of the City of

Dallas under a long-term management

agreement. Dallas Heritage Village is

located at Old City Park, which is owned

by the City of Dallas; the historic build-

ings in the Village are purchased and

restored by DCHS, then deeded to the

City. DCHS owns the historical artifacts

and furnishings used to interpret Dallas-

area history and heritage to the public.

et was $1,292,215. Partial funding for

half is interpreted as 1901. Some of the

buildings, such as the 1861 Heritage

staffed with interpreters dressed in period

clothing, portraying people of that time

period. The interpreters interact with the

public and demonstrate the lifestyle and

culture of the times.
