If you EVER happen to drive by Abilene (on your way to Midland, maybe?), do NOT overlook this…read moreamazing piece of Texas history that this amazing community has managed to preserve the village and transform it into a museum that allows children and adults alike to go back in time. You can view one of the first washing machines, enter a dentist office (which to me looked more like a torture chamber), visit the school, post office... AND the train station which (if i am correct) was efficiently operational for no more than a dozen years. Considering the fact that part of the exhibition is outside, it would be best NOT to go in the middle of the summer season and AVOID the hottest hours of the day (which, strangely go from 3 PM till late at night). So... put BUFFALO GAP and its museum into your navigational system as a pit stop back in time for a WILD WEST EXPERIENCE.. you shan't be disappointed!

Stopped here on a road trip across Texas and I'm glad we did! The people who own this place have…read moredone a great job rescuing different buildings from around the area, preventing them from being torn down or lost to time as cities and towns continue to expand. We grabbed our tickets at the visitor center and then used the pamphlet they gave us to do a self-guided tour which worked perfectly! It was easy to follow the map and match it up to the descriptions so that we could learn about each building as we walked through it (or peeked inside if it was closed for renovation). A great place to stop and stretch your legs!

Looking for a wedding venue? There truly are not enough…read morewords to thank Thomas for everything he did for us during our wedding. From the moment we started working with him, we felt supported, cared for, and completely at ease. Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming at times, but Thomas had a way of making everything feel manageable and calm. On our wedding day, he was everywhere we needed him to be without us ever having to ask. He handled every detail with so much professionalism, kindness, and genuine care. Because of him, John and I were able to be fully present and soak in every moment instead of worrying about logistics. That is such a priceless gift on a day you can never get back. What stood out most was how much heart he put into his work. We never felt like "just another event." He truly cared about us, our families, and making sure our day was everything we hoped it would be. By the end of it all, Thomas didn't just feel like our venue coordinator -- he felt like part of the day itself and honestly became a friend. He danced with me and our guests, celebrated alongside us, and brought such a fun, positive energy to the entire evening. Looking back, I can honestly say I had the BEST team ever, and Thomas was such a huge part of that. We are beyond grateful for the role he played in one of the most important days of our lives. Thank you, Thomas, for helping create memories we will cherish forever.

It was a nice afternoon in Abilene when my girlfriend and I explored the historic Grace building…read moreand visited the Grace Museum. We got in a little after noon to see new exhibits that had genuinely just opened for the season that day. The museum is very quiet and, thanks to road construction, a little confusing to get to, but it is worth the drive and adventure. As we arrived, we noticed that a wedding was being set up in their courtyard and event space, and we were in awe of how cute the space was for a wedding. On the first floor was the Gail Norfleet collection, where we were amazed by these multi-layered plexiglass paintings that added depth to her floral pieces and recreated rooms. It is such a unique style. Gail's use of color is quite impressive. On the second floor sat the other two new exhibits. The first was Focus on Photography: Selections from the Permanent Collection, which includes a diverse and vast collection of still images printed on numerous materials such as gelatin, inkjet, tintype, and metal, giving each image a unique display. As a photographer myself, this was my favorite exhibit. My girlfriend's favorite was the Cindi Holt collection showcasing colorful, prairie-inspired pieces. Other areas included the play zone that has the tower challenge and the history exhibits on the third floor focusing on downtown Abilene and the Texas railway. I'm excited to return to the Grace Museum next time I'm in Abilene when new exhibits are on display. What a cute and small museum!

The first thing I noticed was the decor. We all know how institutional and bleak these places are, but not here. The place was warm and inviting. It really paid the respect to our Veterans that they deserve. We later found out the staff did this on their own. They worked to get items donated, used their skills to build items and what they couldn't get donated they paid out of their own pockets!!! The first person we met was Marcus. He was very friendly and told us that he would have Ron help us. We then met Ron. He was very kind to my mom which meant so much. My mom is 80 yrs old and was very intimidated by the whole process. Ron took my mom's information, told her what he would need from her and Marcus set up her appointment. They made her feel so comfortable that she said she could go back by herself. I just want to give a big shout out to this AWESOME team!!! Sincerely Cynthia New
