FIELD TRIPS: Your students will not only learn about Old West and Texas History, they’ll see it and touch it. This is truly a unique experience that emphasizes the thrills and hardship of early Texas life. It’s one thing to sing home on the range, it’s another to see buffalo roam and deer and antelope play. Add cowboys in the street, a photo opportunity on the back of a longhorn, and a ride through our Wild Animal Park and you’ll see why most schools come back year after year.
Your field trip will include:
- Greeting by townspeople dressed in 1800's clothing.
- Meeting a real Texas longhorn and learning about the history of the longhorns, the cowboys,
and cowgirls.
- Visiting our Texas Heritage Exhibit and hearing stories of the old west.
- Admiring some real American Buffalo and Indian tee pees.
- Enjoying a tractor wagon ride through our 86 acres of lush pastures and wooded hills.
- Viewing numerous longhorns, zebras, emus, llamas, exotic deer, and antelope.
- Eating your lunch in our covered picnic area inside our old west town.
- Visiting our trading post, hardware store, church and much more.
- Enjoying a stroll through an authentic old west town.
