The city is home to a performing and visual arts scene that includes wonderful museums, theaters and art galleries. Be sure to spend some time perusing local and national talents and artifacts that culminate the city's rich history and unique culture.

This museum and historical park is a 30-acre facility dedicated to preserving the history of ranching, pioneer life and the livestock industry. More than 30 authentic ranch structures have been relocated to the center and visitors can explore the evolution of ranch life from the late 1700s to the early 1900s. There are several special events throughout the year, so be sure to check the calendar when you stay with the Embassy Suites.
