Thanks to @dallashistory for this week’s #FunFactFriday. ---- This remarkable mural with “Old Man Texas” in the middle is over the north room doors in the Hall of State and was executed by Dallas’s own Arthur Starr Neidndorff when the Hall of State opened in 1936. ---- Old Man Texas, a cartoon character originated by John Knott around the turn of the 19th century, dominates the center of the mural. After one hundred years of progress, Old Man Texas finds himself surrounded by Texas’s agriculture and climate, along with the wonders of a modern age, symbolically interpreted by the artist to represent the enterprising lifestyle of North Texas. ---- After many years of the North Texas room being closed to the public, when renovations are complete, the room will once again be available to view!! 🙌 ---- Check the link in our bio to find out more about this mural and more! #myfairpark

Happy 4th of July weekend! 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 While Fair Park 4th is canceled, we will be open on July 4 from 7a until 9p. Please enter through Gate 5. Now for this week’s #FunFactFriday, we present Federal Hall (built-in 1936). Here are some fun facts about this room: 🔴⚪️🔵 Federal Hall served as a formal reception room during the Texas Centennial, entertaining celebrities and distinguished guests, who almost certainly included President and Mrs. Roosevelt. 🔴⚪️🔵 Notice something different about the flag? Since the room was constructed in 1936, the flag only has 48 stars (Alaska and Hawaii were not states yet). 🔴⚪️🔵 This room was restored in 1970 to look like it did in 1936, including the proper colors, fabrics, and surfaces. 🔴⚪️🔵 Most of the offices constructed around Federal Hall are connected so that members of the cabinet would be able to move around the building without interacting with the general public at the Centennial. These offices now serve as the admin offices for Fair Park First and Spectra at #myFairPark. 📸 by Carol Highsmith
