Location
John Neely Bryan Cabin
Elm Street
If you look to the left of the Cabin, you’ll see a plaque dedicated to the Log Cabin Pioneers - the early settlers of Three Forks, the area now known as Dallas.
In 1841, John Neely Bryan built his family's cabin with one goal in mind - to make Dallas a thriving place to call home.

Cool Interactive Walking Tour - The audio tour was informative. It was pretty cool how it interacted with us as we walked along the route. The downside was trouble with the app opening the tour on my phone at first after uninstalling/ installing the app 3 times. I tried again using my sister's phone, and it worked despite us both having androids. The tour started and worked fine with no problem.

Underwhelmed - Underwhelmed and wouldn't recommend. I thought it was too brief and covered little of significance other than the JFK sites. Would've liked more local history and significant places to stop. Overall, I thought it was rather thin. Also, ended up booking directly thru Viator, as the TripAdvisor link did not allow me to complete the purchase despite several attempts.
