If you want to learn about the history of Weatherford this is the place to see. A nice museum run by donations. Cute place to take the kids to learn about being an archeologist with an area to have a picnic.

What a wonderful place for Weatherford and Parker County. Ive attended lectures here as well as just visiting to see the displays and Ive never been disappointed. The staff members are always knowledgeable about Parker County history and very helpful. Supported by donations and volunteer workers, the Doss has free admission - or I believe you can pay $5 for a guided tour. Either way its a great investment of your time and your donations.
