- Worth Noting
- The Scale House is the latest addition to the Forest Park Museum Complex. Restored by architect and historic preservationist William J. Wagner, this 1880s Dallas Center structure served as his office and studio for many years. Today it houses a collection of sketches, awards and other mementos from his long and illustrious career.
