• White Rock Lake Park
  White Rock is actually a reservoir for the city of Dallas and the steam-electric generating plant that uses the water to cool their condensers.  It was formed by damming the White Rock Creek, as it widens into the lake and then heading south out of the city and emptying into the Trinity River.  It covers approximately 1254 acres in the east Dallas area, and is a favorite place for the locals to go for any number of reasons.  In 1910, the city needed water for its inhabitants, so the reservoir was started and finished the next year.  In 1929, the need for the water was taken over by Lake Lewisville, so the lake was to be used only in extreme cases.  During the 1930s, the Civilian Conservation Corps and the city park board started developing the area around the lake into parkland because of the many housing developments that began springing up in the area.  Now, some of those neighborhoods are the most desired in the city.  In World War II, German prisoners were housed in Winfrey Point near the lake.  Swimming was banned in 1952, and motorized boats in 1959.  Surrounding the lake is the park that contains a 9.33 mile trail that is used for hiking, biking, jogging and running.  There are a few fishing piers and sailing is allowed.  The Bath house cultural center and Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden occupy land along the lakeshore.

• Cathedral Santuario de Guadalupe
  Cathedral Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe is the cathedral church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Dallas and built in 1898.  This magnificent church contains the second biggest membership of Catholics in the nation and each Sunday, approximately 11,200 attendees come to receive mass.  The church was originally known as the Sacred Heart, and as much of the inner city moved to the suburbs with the rest of the country, the attendance of mass declined.  The parish of Our Lady was comprised of Mexicans and was outgrowing its location, and the Bishop decided the best option for both churches would be to merge, and they did.  The Sacred Heart Cathedral was renamed in 1977 to the Cathedral Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe.  The tower was refurbished recently and a 49 bell carillon was added.  The tower design was part of the original plans by architect Nicholas Clayton, but wasn't built then.  It was added at a cost of $20 million.
   

• Millemore Mansion
  The Millemore mansion is located in the Heritage Village of Dallas where many historical houses are situated and called the old City Park.  Named after the original owner, William Brown Miller, the house was completed in 1861, just as the Civil War was starting.  He was a wealthy cotton grower and had many slaves.  Next to the mansion, sits a log cabin that was constructed by Miller and his slaves as a temporary home until the mansion could be finished, built of cedar and oak trees from the area.  His slaves would use the cabin for shelter once he moved into the mansion.  It is a two story building that is considered by paranormal experts to be haunted.  Staff, volunteers and visitors have encountered the presence of a woman near the master bedroom.  These visions or apparitions have been recorded over the years and it has gained a national reputation for that.  The TV show Ghosthunters have visited the mansion to investigate the stories about the ghostly woman.  For many years the house deteriorated and destruction looked like the next option, until 1968, when the Dallas County Heritage Society arrived and began its restoration.  The next year it was opened as the first home to be restored and is the last remaining mansion in the city.  It is in pristine condition, with many original furnishings and the aura within the house takes visitors back in time to the Civil War era.
