Historic Places to Visit in Plano

The Interurban Railway Museum

Located in downtown Plano, the Interurban Railway Museum is housed in a building that served as a primary stop on the Texas Electric Railway that ran from Denison to Dallas beginning in 1908. On December 31, 1948, the Denison to Dallas Interurban made its last run. The station remained closed until early 1990 when a complete restoration of the building was completed and the building was converted into a museum by the City of Plano. The museum exhibit contains many artifacts associated with the Interurban Line, as well as a history of Plano.

Plano's Historic Cemeteries

When visiting Plano's historic sites, please observe any property boundaries and visit only during daylight hours. Close and lock any gates and do not remove any plants, artifacts or decorations. Markers are often in delicate condition and are easily damaged. Gravestones are beautiful works of art, but taking rubbings can erode inscriptions. Instead, take photographs and do no harm. Wayside signs at historic cemeteries in Plano were provided by The Plano Conservancy for Historic Preservation, Inc., a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation. The historic details of each site are explored in the photographs, text, and images displayed on the panels.
