Historical Grapevine
Grapevine is rightfully named after the native mustang grapes that abundantly grew in the city. Being the original settlement in Tarrant County, Grapevine is rich with history. Grapevine’s Historic Main Street District has whatever you could need. You can easily spend several hours exploring all of the boutiques, restaurants, small businesses, farmer’s markets, winery tasting rooms, and several historic landmarks that occupy Main Street. One of the historic hotspots is Grapevine’s Vintage Railroad, which gives a peek into the 1920's Victorian-style coaches. The engine that pulls the coaches, known as Puffy, was built in the 1890s. Also found along Main Street, the Torian Log Cabin was originally constructed in 1845 and almost demolished until the Grapevine Historical Society negotiated to disassemble the hand-hewn logs and rebuild the cabin on Main Street.
