Fort Bend County is a great place to live and has a very rich historical background. One really very interesting and fun thing to do in Fort Bend County is to visit the Historic George Ranch.
They are celebrating their 25th Anniversary this year. There’s so much to see with four historic home sites that take you through 100 years of Texas history and a calendar that is jam packed with special programs and events that will give you a different experience every time you visit.
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.
