Abilene, Texas
 Located in the
Panhandle Plains
region, the town of Abilene, Texas is the county seat for
Taylor
county.
The cowboy way is alive and well in this great midsized Texas city of 120,000 people. Abilene is known for its rich pioneer heritage and it shows. With all the comforts of a big city and the hospitality of a small town, Abilene makes for a perfect vacation destination.
Awesome - WOW - Fantastic describe the Frontier Texas! experience. Frontier Texas!, a multimedia museum, tells the history of the region from 1780-1880. The Abilene and Forts Trail Visitor's Center, located inside Frontier Texas!, is a must before you begin your travels. Pick up a historic walking guide to downtown and an visitors guide and you are on you way to fun and adventure in Abilene.
Don't miss The Grace Museum, three museums in one location. Other museums, galleries, a zoo, live theater, a philharmonic orchestra and community band are some of the other great attractions in Abilene. We think that the frontier forts and the modern day military planes that chase each other across the sky will peak your interests as well.
Abilene, a Top 10 Texas Destination!
