Whitehead Memorial Museum & Judge Roy Bean, Del Rio, Texas

While in Del Rio, Texas we visited the Whitehead Memorial Museum, which also had an exhibit about Judge Roy Bean. We then stopped at Judge Bean's original exhibit on our way to Big Bend National Park. 

Fossil Rim Wildlife Center, Glen Rose, Texas

We finally made a visit to the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center located here in Glen Rose. The Wildlife Center consists of 1,800 acres with around 1,100 animals that roam freely in large pastures among near-natural conditions. They offer various types of tours, but we opted to drive through ourselves so we could stop and go at our leisure. The large pastures these animals live in enable them to behave, socialize and reproduce similar to the way they would in the wild. Many of the species' populations are dwindling and endangered, so ensuring their survival requires a cooperative effort. The "Gosdin Scenic Drive" is 7.2 miles long and took us about two hours. At the half way point they offer a Children's Animal Center, Nature Store, and Overlook Cafe.
