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.
