Abilene
The Texas frontier lives on in Abilene, a city that wears many hats: cultural center, college town, and cow town. Here Old West traditions and present-day amenities coexist harmoniously. Abilene parades its heritage at a collection of venues designed to both educate and entertain. At Frontier Texas! visitors meet—at least figuratively—some of the real men, women, and children who lived and died on the frontier. Discover the wild at the Abilene Zoo and enjoy a stroll through creative downtown galleries, shops, and world-class exhibits. Visit Abilene, just 150 miles west of Fort Worth, for “the Friendly Frontier” experience, a pleasing mix of western history and contemporary culture.
