Myers Park Events Ramp Up Farm Education and Community Workshops

Myers Park & Event Center, home to Collin County’s Farm Museum, is stepping up its roster of workshops and community events in January, reinforcing its role as a local center for agricultural education and heritage preservation. The park’s Farm Museum operates year-round programming that includes scheduled open days, tours, school programming and rotating educational sessions for families and students.

In the coming weeks the center will host several hands-on classes designed for a range of ages and interests. Scheduled workshops include Braided Rag Rugs on Jan. 13, Handmade Pie Crust on Jan. 14 and a Resin Light Mold Kit session on Jan. 20. The Landing Kitchen cooking classes and seasonal farm events are also part of the park’s regular calendar. These offerings underline the museum’s dual mission of preserving regional farming history while providing practical, low-cost learning opportunities.

For Collin County residents, the park’s activity matters on multiple levels. Educationally, students and families gain access to tactile learning experiences that reinforce local history and basic food and craft skills. Culturally, the Farm Museum preserves artifacts and practices tied to the county’s agricultural past, helping maintain a shared sense of place as the region continues to grow. Economically, a year-round calendar of workshops and events draws visitors from across the county, supporting modest local spending on supplies, travel and event registration while enhancing the visibility of community programming.

Myers Park’s model—combining museum exhibits with experiential learning—also supports school curricula by offering structured tours and workshops tailored to student groups. The availability of scheduled school programming makes the park a practical partner for teachers seeking locally anchored lessons in history, science and vocational skills.

Residents interested in attending or arranging group visits should consult the Collin County event calendar for the most current workshop dates, registration details and contact information for event organizers. As development reshapes parts of Collin County, Myers Park & the Farm Museum remain a steady local resource that preserves agricultural heritage and keeps hands-on learning accessible to families across the county.
