Historic building is worth a visit but the history displays inside are more along Political Correctness than actual History.

Dedicated to inspire and educate visitors about the rich and varied cultural, economic, political and social history of the area, the Old Red Museum serves as a symbol of Dallas heritage. Built in 1892, the beautifully restored Old Red Courthouse contains some of Dallas' most fascinating historical artifacts. There is a special exhibit gallery on the first floor, while the second floor is filled with exhibits, 41-touch screen computers, an educational learning center and four mini theatres.
Located at a crossroads of activity in downtown Dallas – adjacent to the JFK Memorial and Dealey Plaza, a National Historic Landmark District, across the street from a replica of Dallas founder John Neely Bryan's cabin and just a block from The Sixth Floor Museum and the historic West End of Dallas. The space is stimulating for any kind of visitor, including students or anyone looking to learn about the history of Dallas County.

Looks like a castle from a distance, very close to the Kennedy memorial, and looks great in the evening light!
