The George Ranch Historical Park is consistently rated as one of the best attractions for families looking for an authentic Texas experience. Rated “Extraordinary” by the Zagat Family Fun Guide, George Ranch is a 23,000-acre working ranch open daily to visitors from near and far.

If you thought Texas was all about cowboys and oil, you are not entirely correct, but you are remembering important themes from Texas history!

This history is reflected in the exhibits at this unique park 30 minutes from downtown Houston.

Visitors to the George Ranch Historical Park will get to see the hard living conditions of 1830’s living in Mexican Texas at the pioneer stock farm.

You will watch the farmers drive a team of oxen to plant the crops, experience weaving hand corn grinding hands-on, and help harvest crops.

The 1890’s area of the park takes you back to the glory days of the cattle drives and the cowboy camps. Watch a real blacksmith in action and see how the well-off lived at the beautiful Victorian-era Davis House.

To see the 1930’s era George Ranch is to see cowboys demonstrating modern roping and cattle sorting skills and the George ranch house in the original location with many original furnishings.
