Woody's Museum

Museum

👍👍 I saw this on TV and have some land nearby and have tried to go see it a few times but they are only open Thursday through Sunday. So plan accordingly, but what a hidden gem of a place. The cars are pretty cool and the baseball collection is amazing, especially if you’re a Texas rangers fan. The bat...

Fort Chadbourne

Museum

👍👍 Neat experience, thank you very much for the tour! I'm an architecture graduate, and am suitably impressed at how well y'all have preserved the buildings on site, especially given the detail given to preserving original stone placements and carvings. Major kudos for that. Neat collection of histor...

Robert E. Howard Museum

Museum

👍👍 Detoured off the interstate to see the home of the author Robert E. Howard here in Cross plains, TX. I recall reading my first Conan book when I was eight or nine and “borrowing” my Dad’s book off the back of his bed. I knew he had lived, and died in Crossplains, but only recently found out the hous...

Old Zoo Nature Trails

Hiking area

👍👍 This place is so cool. It's an awesome feeling hiking through the ruins of a zoo. I will say, looking this place up made it seem like a easy hike, but in the summer, it was quite the little battle. Lots of uphill, and uneven footing. Its a small place though, so it's definitely doable, just do not e...

We moved to 3 sites while there. The first site had tree limbs that would hit our 5th wheel RV should the winds get up. We moved t...
