Elizabeth and Thomas Nash Farm

-A A +A
1859 established; later additions. 626 Ball St.

The Nash Farm, the oldest farmstead in Tarrant County, was established by settlers from Kentucky. Their house, which dates from 1869, is a two-story wooden I-house, with brick end chimneys, a gable in the center of the facade, and a one-story entrance porch. The house, half a dozen barns and outbuildings, and five of the original four hundred acres were acquired by the Grapevine Heritage Foundation in 2000, which operates them as a living history site.
