GEORGE RANCH HISTORICAL PARK

This historic ranch, 32 miles from Houston, was founded in 1824, during the time of the state's first English-speaking settlements, led by the famous Stephen F. Austin. Still in operation today, the site invites visitors to step into the heart of Texas' agricultural tradition of cattle ranching, country farming and cotton production. Here, visitors will discover not only the work in the fields, but also some of the architecture of the American South.
