Part III, Line 1a: If organization elected under SFAS 116 to not report are, historical treasures, o	Upon incorporation in 1966, the Society entered into an agreement with the City of Dallas (City) whereby all rights, titles and legal interest in any structure relocated or constructed in Old City Park by the Society shall pass to the City when restoration or construction has been finished. Upon passage of title, the City leases the structures back to the Society at no cost. The current agreement expires in 2018. Maintenance, repairs and replacements, which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets, are charged to operations when incurred. Because the historic buildings are owned by the City, any restorations and repairs to the historic buildings are expensed when incurred.
Part III, Line 4: Description of organization's collections and how it furthers its purpose.	The Society preserves representative structures, artifacts and other historical materials related to the history of Dallas and North Central Texas from 1840-1910 and through educational programming interprets these historical materials to the public, particularly youth.
Part X : FIN48 Footnote	GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Societys tax return and recognition of a tax liability (or asset) if the Society has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Society and has concluded as of September 30, 2015, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements.
