Texas is a state rich in culture and history, with many cities featuring many places for history buffs to satisfy their curiosity. Irving is one of those places that history buffs will want to stop by and see. Check out some of the best places for those who love history.

The Ruth Paine House

The Kennedy assassination has fascinated history buffs and conspiracy theorists for years. For those who want to feed their fascination even more, a stop to The Ruth Paine House is in order. The small home has been restored to how it was in 1963 when Lee Harvey Oswald spent the night before the fateful day in November when JFK was assassinated.

Mandalay Canal

When the town of Las Colinas was designed, the developer Ben Carpenter tried to find a way to preserve the area’s natural beauty while addressing the storm-water runoff that was common in the area. His attempt to create functional waterways to deal with the water problem led to the formation of the Mandalay Canals. The canals are now a popular spot for community events and water sports, and create a beautiful landscape throughout the city.

Our Lady of Dallas Cistercian Abbey

In the 1940’s and 1950’s, Cistercian monks fleeing Hungary made their home in Irving at the Our Lady of Dallas Cistercian Abbey. The monastery still stands today and is an amazing stop for both those who love history and architecture.
