…my best field trip suggestions would be:
- The award-winning Frontier Texas interactive history museum in Abilene
- Waco Mammoth Site and the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame in Waco
- The Texas Civil War Museum in Fort Worth
You can also download this excellent Texas Forts Trail guide from the Texas Historical Commission and take a self-guided tour…or several! The ruins at Fort Phantom Hill are a favorite of mine! 🙂

I appreciate the suggestions! A question though … Why is Frontier Texas crossed off?

Hi, Jen~
I honestly don’t know why Frontier Texas has a line through it!
That’s what usually happens when a link has changed or isn’t working for some reason, but I checked it several times (including just now) and it works fine when I click on it. I also tried erasing it and just typing the reference in again, but it continued to revert to the crossed out link.
Most times computers are helpful, but sometimes they’re not…and when they’re not, they leave you scratching your head.
I had the pleasure of touring Frontier Texas last fall, and it’s a wonderful museum! Very multi-sensory and just a really great place to spend an hour or two (or three). 😉
Thanks for writing!
Lynn
