If you don’t know the story behind it, seeing an old log cabin in the middle of a bustling urban setting might seem strange. However, history buffs should not miss the John Neely Bryan Cabin, a tiny, one-room replica of the city’s first house. John Neely Bryan, who founded Dallas in the early 1840s, built his cabin near the Trinity River in hopes of establishing and developing a permanent settlement in North Texas. Tour start location.
