Museum of the Big Bend

Fodor's Choice

This expansive history-lover's haven has exhibits representing the life and cultures of the region and sponsors an annual show on ranching handiwork (such as saddles, reins, and spurs) held in conjunction with the Cowboy Poetry Gathering each February. The map collection is renowned.

Museum of the Big Bend

This West Texas haven for art lovers and cowboy poets is under renovation and expansion, but it remains open, with 5,000 feet of space holding exhibits on cowboys and conquistadors. There's also an annual show of ranching handiwork (like saddles, reins, and spurs) held in conjunction with the Cowboy Poetry Gathering each February.
