George Ranch Historical Park by jjp76
Just southwest of Houston is the George Ranch in Richmond, TX. I've never been but am including this tip because many travelers want to see an "old west" or "cowboy" side of Houston -- which nowadays, is hard to come by unless it's Rodeo time.According to the web site, the ranch offers vistors:
- The struggles of early pioneers to Texas at the colonial stock farm.
- Colonial life in Mexican Texas before it was a state.
- A visit to the days of cattle drives, chuck wagon fare and cowboy camps.
- The craftsmanship of a working blacksmith.
- The splendor of the Victorian age at the Davis House.
- The role of black cowboys on developing Texas ranches.
- The skills of the working cowboys at the Ranch.
