George Ranch Historical Park

For James last field trip as a 3rd grader we went to the George Ranch Historical Park. It was a lot of fun.

A little about the George Ranch Historical Park

The George Ranch Historical Park's history follows family lines beginning in 1824 when Texas was still part of Mexico. The first Texas pioneers settled near the Brazos River. In the years since, the Ranch has passed through four generations and grown into one of Fort Bend County's landmarks.
Today, the George Ranch is a 23,000-acre working ranch. The family's original "home place" is at the core of the George Ranch Historical Park where the legends and legacies of those who shaped this place come to life every day. Authentic locations, historic homes, costumed presenters and a remarkable story of determination and courage set the stage for trekking through Texas history.

Look at those limbs!

Look at that amazing tree trunk!

These pictures are for you dad. Mr. George died back in the 1940's. These were his shootings from before he past away. This was I think my most favorite room. :)

These were in the George Ranch House

The Original Family Cemetery:The family cemetery was started in the 1820s with the last burial in 1916

Oldenburg Blacksmith: Learn the importance of the blacksmith trade as you watch our craftsmen at work. As in older days, our blacksmith makes most of the metal tools and equipment needed on the Ranch.

This was really fun and interesting to watch.
