  • Dallas Arboretum: DeGolyer House Historical Tours

    The DeGolyer House and its adjoining DeGolyer Gardens offer a serene and historic visit within extensive grounds. Visitors can partake in guided tours of the DeGolyer House, a 21,000-square-foot estate listed on both the National and Texas Registers of Historic Places, to learn about its rich family history and architectural significance. Tours are available throughout the week, enhancing guests' understanding of this storied residence.

    Adjacent, the DeGolyer Gardens, designed in 1940 by landscape architects Arthur and Marie Berger, span 4.5 acres featuring original and renovated garden elements like the Magnolia Allee, the Sunken Garden, and the Octagonal Fountain. Seasonal blooms, including daffodils in January and February and tulips in spring, offer vibrant scenes perfect for photography and leisurely strolls. This verdant haven and historic estate invite exploration and appreciation, included with garden admission or membership, without mentioning specific price details.
