City of Mesquite

Opal Lawrence Historical Park, a 13-acre site in Mesquite, Texas, is a treasured landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places and recognized as a Century Family Farm. Visitors can explore the historic Lawrence house, which showcases the evolution of domestic buildings from the 1870s to the late 20th century, alongside various outbuildings that reflect farm life in North Texas.

The park not only serves as a destination for field trips and family outings but also highlights the rich history of the Lawrence family, who resided there until 1995. With ongoing restoration efforts, the park aims to preserve its historical significance while providing a glimpse into the agricultural heritage of the region.
