Solve a historic Texas case at Log Cabin Village on Nov. 8

Fort Worth’s Log Cabin Village will turn visitors into investigators on Sunday, Nov. 8, 2026, with a museum event built around a real 19th-century Texas murder case.

The come-and-go program runs from 1 to 5 p.m. CST at 2100 Log Cabin Village Lane. Participants can move through the case at their own pace, questioning staff members playing suspects and examining evidence rather than following a fixed performance schedule.

Admission is $30 and includes museum entry, a case-file notebook and a commemorative coin, according to the city’s Oct. 19 announcement. Registration is required and space is limited. Check the city-linked registration page for current availability before making plans.

The event is for ages 16 and older. Anyone under 18 must remain with an adult throughout the visit.

The museum says it uses a different case each year, so returning participants will have a new puzzle to work through. Questions can go to Log Cabin Village at 817-392-5881 or logcabinvillage@fortworthtexas.gov.
