" So when the 35 - member Euless Historical Preservation Committee told her that , if given the space , they would organize hundreds of donated artifacts into a viable museum , she got out of their way . " It started when we got the Fuller House , " Saleh said , referring to the town ' s first brick home , moved in 1995 to Heritage Park . " They cleaned it up , and people started giving things from their homes , their parents ' homes and furnished it in nothing flat . Then they kept giving and giving until there was so much stuff you couldn ' t move around in there . " Moving most of the artifacts from the Fuller House into its next-door neighbor , the Ruth Millican Center at 201 Cullum Drive , was the only viable solution . The center is home to the new Euless Heritage Museum , which opens Saturday . Refreshments will be served , and tours will be conducted through the museum and the trio of buildings next door at Heritage Park -- the Fuller House , the 1850s -era Himes Log House and the McCormick Barn , built of lumber salvaged from the World War I training base Camp Bowie . Special exhibits in the museum include a back porch attached to a room designed to look like a 1930s - era kitchen , complete with period appliances . Nearby is a mid -20th -century schoolroom and a space dedicated to military memorabilia . In the larger display area are artifacts from as far back as the 1880s . Euless traces its pre - incorporation heritage back to Bird ' s Fort and a settlement that sprang up about the mid - 19th century . " There ' s a Flexi -flyer sled that was brought to Texas from Maryland , " she said . "We asked for an old red wagon , and four of them turned up the next day . The love that' s gone into putting this museum together is unbelievable .
