Cedar Hill State Park

This 1,850-acre park on the eastern shore of Joe Pool Lake offers rolling, cedar-covered hills; camping; trailer facilities; picnicking; shelters; swimming; rest rooms and showers; hiking; and fishing. Although it's considered an urban park because of its proximity to Dallas and Fort Worth, the beauty of the woods makes it a popular destination. Admisson and camping fees. 1570 F.M. 1382. 972/291-3900, 800/792-1112. www.tpwd.state.tx.us/spdest/findadest/parks/cedar_hill.

Penn Farm Agricultural History Center depicts farming right before and after World War II, illustrating the shift in agriculture from self-sufficient small farming to an agribusiness model. Exhibits housed in 1918 barn, a Model T garage, two granaries and other restored structures interpret the farm site and life of the middle-class farmers who worked the land from the 1920s to the '60s. 972/291-3900.
