Grand Prairie TEXAS real estate
Grand Prarie. Grand Prairie was established at the
close of the Civil War on the Texas & Pacific Railroad with the
original name of Deckman. Renamed in 1873, it was incorporated in
1902. The population was spurred by large defense plants during
World War II. Public recreation facilities include playgrounds,
picnic areas, athletic fields, swimming, boating and golf.
Dubbed an "Arabian Fantasy" because of its huge onion domes,
minarets and exotic detailing, the museum offers stunning displays-
all in wax. Exhibits, in environmental settings, include Hollywood,
history, horror, childhood fantasy and religion. Visitors also see
the resident sculptor at work in his studio. The unusual, bizarre,
and unbelievable displays in Ripley's Believe it or Not! are from
the collection of a man who collected the world's most interesting
artifacts. Enter overgrown ruins of a mystic temple and discover
the arts and weapons of primitive people, or walk over a bed of
fiery coals, if you dare! Visitors experience an earthquake, find
themselves on the ocean floor in the undersea world of Atlantis, and
hold onto their hats as they step into a Texas tornado and emerge
safely to inspect the incredible things 200 - mph winds can do.
