120 min walk
Hidden Dallas History uncovers the stories the city preferred to forget. Little Mexico, the 15,000-person Mexican-American community erased by urban renewal. Freedman's Cemetery, paved over for Central Expressway with graves still beneath the highway. The Ku Klux Klan's control of Dallas government in the 1920s. Prohibition-era bootlegging and speakeasies. Cold War paranoia and defense contracts. The West Dallas lead smelter that poisoned a Latino neighborhood for 50 years. These hidden histories shaped Dallas as much as the celebrated landmarks — they just didn't make it into the official story.
Covers sensitive historical content including racism and violence. Rideshare required between widely scattered sites.
