Discover more than 100 years of Texas ranching history at the George Ranch Historical Park, a 480-acre living history museum situated on a real working ranch. Located just 30 miles southwest of downtown Houston, the George Ranch Historical Park’s history follows the lineage of one Texas family from the 1830s through the 1930s. Tour four different historic home sites, interact with the costumed interpreters, watch the cowboys rope and sort cattle and more.
