My Hometown

"Every man's memory is his private literature." - Aldous Huxley

What do you remember about the Dallas neighborhood in which you grew up? We want to hear your story.

The Dallas Historical Society invites you to participate in our new project called "My Home Town". Our goal is to piece together a Dallas encyclopedia one ice cream stand at a time. Record your home town memories in a 250 - 600 word essay.

or mail to: Dallas Historical Society
My Home Town
P. O. Box 150038
Dallas, TX 75315-0038

Pending approval (our criteria are few), your essay will later be published on the web.

We are moving toward the next generation of web services, a generation marked by user collaboration and sharing. Ultimately, much of our writing and activity on Facebook will be incorporated into a new Dallas Historical Website - a website built in part by its visitors, a website that allows virtual access to significant parts of DHS archives and museum collections. Let's get started!

Dining Out in Dallas

Our city boasts about having the some of the best restaurants in the country. After all, we do have acclaimed chefs, an astonishingly diverse range of cuisine and good wine and Texas hospitality to boot. Be they famous or obscure, served with violins and vino or street vended, what are some of your favorite places to eat in Dallas and why?

America's Team

Dallas Cowboys training camp is underway. Lots for football fans to think about this season: a new coach, a young celebrity quarterback, a team returning from a disappointing, first round playoff loss. What are your thoughts and predictions for the 2007 season?
