Chestnut Square Historic Village is located right outside of downtown McKinney and features six historic homes, a model of a small schoolhouse, a chapel and a store. In addition, the village includes a blacksmith shop, a reception house, and gardens. Inside each of these buildings, there are period artifacts that give visitors a glimpse into what life was like in Collin County from 1850 to 1940. Chestnut Square Historic Village is here today thanks to a small group of women who gathered in 1973 with an interest of preserving a piece of McKinny’s history and heritage.
