Fall Into History at Bear Creek

August 31, 2026
Discover local history and community at the Jackie Townsell Bear Creek Heritage Center on Saturday, October 10, at 1 p.m. Bear Creek: Fall Into History invites you to explore three historic buildings: the Bear Creek Masonic Lodge, the Green House, and the J.O. Davis House. Each site has been thoughtfully restored with interactive elements and offers a unique glimpse into the African American community that helped shape Irving’s history. While you explore, snap a selfie in our native Texas plant garden and pick up a free Legacy Kit to start uncovering your own family history. Come at your own pace, wander the historic grounds, and even bring a picnic to enjoy under the on-site pavilion. Free and family-friendly, with no RSVP required!
