The Fox-Haggard House in its new location
Formerly known as the Collinwood House, the Fox-Haggard House was included on Preservation Texas’s Most Endangered Places List in 2016. Built circa 1860, the Fox-Haggard House is the city’s oldest remaining residence and was the ancestral home of one of Plano’s pioneering families - the Haggards.
In 2009, the property was sold to the City of Plano with plans to develop the site as a park. The house was declared a hazard that needed to be removed, but efforts to relocate it fell through and the house remained vacant. In 2017, after voters rejected a multi-million dollar bond measure to restore the house, city council voted to tear it down. However, city officials changed their mind and decided to have the house moved off-site. Haggard Enterprises submitted the only bid.
In 2018, the house was saved from the wrecking ball when it was moved about a quarter mile from its original location to the Haggard Farm. The Haggards have preserved their family’s former home, which now awaits programming so that it can be experienced by future generations.
