Abilene, Texas

Spend a few days in Abilene, Texas and it will sink in that this is one of the last places True West flavor resides. Frontier Texas! allows visitors to meet-at least figuratively-some of the real people who lived and died on the frontier. Instead of artifacts, Frontier Texas! uses first person narratives to tell the story. Children of all ages find the Grace Museum, Center for Children's Illustrated Literature, and Abilene Zoo irresistible. Visit www.abilenevistors.com or call 800-727-7704 for more information.
