Pinkston, Dr. William Green, and Dr. Samuel L. Brown, before they established practices of their own. His daughter, Ollie Lee McMillan Mason, served as a nurse at the sanitarium and later became the first African American nurse hired by Parkland Hospital. Today, Dr. McMillan’s legacy is commemorated with a Texas Historical Marker at 2404 N. Hall Street, just north of State Street.

The Flowers Building Discover the legacy of Dr. William Knox Flowers Sr. and Jr. During the 1918 influenza epidemic, Dr. Flowers Sr., a Black physician practicing during segregation, developed a treatment that saved black and white lives, showing how medicine, science and innovation can cross racial barriers and save lives. In 1925, he built the Flowers Building at 2317 Hall Street, home to the medical practices of Dr. Flowers Sr., his sons, and other Black businesses. The organization that became the Dallas Black Chamber of Commerce was established there in 1926, with Dr. Flowers Sr. serving on its first Executive Committee. In 1954, Dr. Flowers Jr. and Dr. Lee G. Pinkston were among the first five Black physicians granted privileges at previously segregated St. Paul Hospital. Dr. Flowers Jr. later served South Dallas until his life was tragically taken during a late-night burglary at his medical office, continuing a family legacy of service, sacrifice and breaking barriers.

Dallas Black History AdvenTOUR: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dallas.
How much does Dallas Black History AdvenTOUR cost?
+
Prices start at $79 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dallas usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Dallas Black History AdvenTOUR take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dallas is not rushed.
Is Dallas Black History AdvenTOUR worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dallas, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dallas Black History AdvenTOUR?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Dallas Black History AdvenTOUR suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dallas Black History AdvenTOUR?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dallas can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dallas and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dallas Black History AdvenTOUR start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dallas within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dallas?
+
Dallas covers JFK and Sixth Floor Museum history tours, Fort Worth Stockyards cattle drives, Deep Ellum food and music walks, and Reunion Tower skyline views. Combined Dallas and Fort Worth tours vary a lot in how much time they actually spend in each. On Outty we rank every Dallas experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include JFK Assassination and Museum Tour with Lee Harvey Oswald Rooming House, The Escape Game: Epic 60-Minute Adventures at Grapevine Mills, JFK Assassination Tour with Lee Harvey Rooming House. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dallas?
+
March to May and October to November. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dallas?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Dallas Black History AdvenTOUR?
+
Included: Bottled water; Driver & AdvenTour Guide; In-vehicle air conditioning; Tour Booklet (available in multiple languages); and Fun Facts & Black History Trivia. Not included: Gratuities; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Dallas Black History AdvenTOUR?
+
Please meet us in the DART Market Center Park N Ride Parking Lot. We will be in a black SUV or white passenger van with the Spencer Adventours logo. Parking is free. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Dallas Black History AdvenTOUR offered in?
+
It is offered in English, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Dallas Black History AdvenTOUR?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Dallas Black History AdvenTOUR if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
