The George Ranch Historical Park

More than 100 years of Texas History


Frequently Asked Questions

When are you open?

We are open Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. We are closed on Sundays and Mondays, January 1, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Is there transportation at the Park?

Yes. The Park is developed around a nearly-mile long loop and we have a tractor-drawn wagon that circles every 20 or 30 minutes.

Is it all outdoors?

Because the Davis Victorian Mansion and George Ranch House display museum-quality artifacts, they are climate-controlled for humidity and temperature. However, the rest of the Park's historical amenities (including the Jones Stock Farm, Sharecropper's Cabin, working pens and tree house) are all subject to the whims of weather. We suggest that guests dress for the day's forecast.

How long does it take to visit the Park?

We recommend that guests plan to arrive at the latest by 1:30 p.m. It generally takes 3 to 3.5 hours to tour the Park.

Can I take pictures at the Park?

We welcome amateur photographers! The Park has a variety of natural and historical settings that make for beautiful photographs.

For professional photography and private sessions, please contact us for schedules, rates and fees.

Do you have horses I can ride?

While we do have working horses, they are well-trained, one-rider types. They are part of our working staff and are the cowboys' best partners. Dude ranches in Bandera (west of San Antonio) and Conroe (north of Houston) offer horses to rent for a day's ride. Please check the local chamber of commerce for more information.

Do you have overnight lodging?

Please check with the Fort Bend Chamber of Commerce or Rosenberg-Richmond Chamber of Commerce for local lodging information.
