The George Ranch Historical Park is open Tuesday - Saturday 9 AM - 5 PM except for January 1, Thanksgiving, December 24 and 25. Reservations are not necessary!
We invite guests to tour the park on their own terms, at their own speed. Self-guided tour brochures are available at the Visitor Center. When you check in, you will receive your own copy. The park is developed around a nearly-mile long loop and we have a tractor-drawn wagon that circles every 20 or 30 minutes. Guests may walk the loop, or ride. We recommend that guests plan to arrive by 1:30 or 2:00 in the afternoon. It takes about 3 to 31/2 hours to tour the park.
Ongoing demonstrations and activities are key to bringing the George Ranch's story to life. While you can drop into the pioneer farm, sharecropper's farm, blacksmith shop during our regular hours of operation, the working cowboy demonstrations and historical house tours are scheduled throughout the day.
Finally, because the Davis Mansion and George Ranch House, our two historic homes, display museum-quality artifacts, they are climate controlled for humidity and temperature. However, the rest of the park's historical amenities, from the Jones Stock Farm to the Sharecropper's Cabin to the working pens and tree house, are all subject to the whims of weather. We suggest the guests dress for the day's forecast.
We have a small cafe on site, the Dinner Belle Cafe, where hungry or thirsty guests can soothe their bellies and throats.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
