The visitor center is interactive and has a video to see about the history of The Republic of Texas. There are trails to explore. There is also a living history farm to visit. It's a great place to visit to learn more about Texas history.

Amazing learning opportunities, budget friendly and a lot of fun. Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the scenery. Make sure you wear comfortable clothing and during the summer bring plenty of water to stay hydrated. The interactive exhibit is entertaining and educational.

The farms are a lot of fun especially for kids. Take your time and let the kids work the farm, play and pretend like they live there. Staff is friendly and encourages hands-on experience.
