Here are the top three stories in McKinney-Frisco today:

1. Visiting Heritage Village at Chestnut Square is like taking a trip back in time. The village has five historic homes dating back to the 1800s, and the Heritage Village offers tours of the buildings and the grounds. This is the perfect stop for a day trip, as it's just south of downtown McKinney Square. (Star Local Media)
2. After two years of being canceled due to the pandemic, the Texas Pinball Festival will return to Frisco this year at the end of March. There will be more than 400 pinball machines free to play, including old and vintage models. There will be tournaments held and memorabilia to purchase. The event will take place between Mar. 25 and Mar. 27 at the Embassy Suites in Frisco. (Dallas Morning News)
3. After a cool and windy couple of days, the weather will get warmer and sunnier here in the McKinney-Frisco area. Expect high temperatures in the 50s today and tomorrow, warming up to the mid-60s by Thursday. Tomorrow, there will be wind gusts of up to 13 mph. (McKinney-Frisco Patch)
