The George Ranch Historical Park is one of the well-preserved historical parks of Texas. The park encompasses at least 400-acres, with an outdoor museum nearby so visitors can experience the life of a normal, Texas family.

The ranch was originally part of the Stephen F. Austin?s colony, owned by Henry Jones. Founded in 1824, the ranch was maintained and kept for 100 years until the last of the family of Mimmie and Albert George passed it as a historic attraction.

The natural beauty of the whole ranch captivates the people who come to the place due to its panoramic view. For those who want to experience Texan food, a diner is definitely fitting for families or they may stay for a few hours and enjoy a home-cooked meal with a touch of Texan style.

The place is also accessible for field trips and groups of tourist who are seeking more information about the ranch and the Texas history. Scheduled tours at the ranch are encouraged for children and adults who want to learn more about the deep culture and history of the ranch. Aside from these tours, educational programs are set for youth groups such as Scouts and day care centers, for home schools, civic organizations, and for intergenerational groups.

What makes the George Ranch Historical Park interesting is that they hold annual events and special days. Visitors should look forward to the ranch?s anniversary because it commemorates the beginnings and the history of the location. The park also celebrates national holidays and will hold special events for the Fourth of July and Easter Day celebration.

Locals and tourists have the opportunity to get involved in ranch activities by becoming volunteers of this historical park. They will have the chance to learn more about ranch life, help preserve the rich history and upkeep of the place, and become park interpreters for incoming visitors at the George Ranch Historical Park.
