Romantic outside museum. Can even drive through it in a car. Located in Cleburne near Fort Worth.

One of the finest Museums in Texas!People in historical clothing help create the atmosphere of an old west town!Step back in time, and enjoy the many family friendly, historical buildings, and artifacts. Join for the Old Fashioned Fourth of July, and other special events like Market Days! So much to see and do!

Great place with lots of history. Staff very friendly and informative. Perfect place for family. Be prepared to walk.

They say you can go on walking tour for free and museum cost $5 ... I stopped in alone to check it out thinking I may bring a child back with me ... The only building I entered was a gift shop and I was explaining that I was not touring I was simply looking at what they had for my next visit...I was about to purchase a $50 purse when the very rude lady told me I had to pay $5 for being on the property...I gave her the $5 and she wanted to give me a admission bracelet I told her again that I was not touring and I was leaving...left and wont be back.... I did stop in the museum on my way out to ask about the free walking tour... they were VERY NICE! VERY NICE and seemed embarrassed by the rude ladies behavior

This was great experience never been Im glad we stopped in enjoyed talking with the blacksmith very knowledgeable man. The ladies in main lobby were so helpful and nice. Will definitely be going back for pioneer days in November.

Yes, this is a must go. People are awesome. We did find out there is a venue for wedding, parties and meetings. Wish there was larger variety stuff for sale. The Teepees didnt have anything but two logs. Wished there were people to speak with in some of the building. Parking was great. Restrooms nice and clean. We will go back for other social events they have a few dates for chilli cooking contest. They have a few reenactments coming soon. See ya there. Was a good museum also. So ya put on walking shoes and bring your pup (on leash at all times and remember to clean up after them) they are dog friendly.

I love 19th century American history and have read quite a bit about the cattle drives as well as the frontier history in Texas. So, Ive wanted to check out this Chisholm Trail Museum for a while. When we got there, we started with the Big Bear Native American Museum on the premises of the Chisholm Trail Museum. With no disrespect to the Chisholm Trail Museum, the Big Bear Museum stole the show for both my wife and I. Ive seen many Native American artifacts and collections and I believe this museum, while being relatively small, is one of the best curated collections Ive ever seen. You just have to experience this place to understand.

Everyone was so friendly and each building had so much history with its own actor dressed in time frame era to tell us about it!

The market day event today was just awesome. Learn some TEXAS history and shop a little and some fun and games!!

My family and I really enjoyed our visit here. Theres kayaking, music, food, a petting zoo, and rehab of a school from the 1800s. Eric is the gentleman that you will work with to kayak he is the best! There was also a camel to pet! Definitely a mist visit!

Great place, as well as great people. A must see for sure!

Had a wonderful time with a great group of people.loved the authenticity of the atmosphere.

They were closed when we arrived but we were able to walk the grounds. Its a neat place to see. Will go back

They say free but they just charged me $5 and the ONLY building I went in was the gift shop with some rude lady.... I was just walking around outside ..jeez!

I was nice to walk through and learn its history.

Great place to learn more & experience 1800 life as it was

Great museum with really interesting stuff. I wish they would take a moment and dust the place but we had a lot of fun

Cool little museum place nothing big but something different. Native American history my kids liked it so thats all I need to be happy. The out door museum is free the in door one is 5 bucks kids are free is not big at all is a large room you go in and out

This is a great place to wander. The Big Bear museum holds a vast array of memorabilia that is surprising given the small size of the building. Chisholm tail staff are friendly and knowledgeable.

Amazing HISTORIC Outdoor Museum and Big Bear Native American Museum! Makes you believe you are back in the 1800’s with Stagecoach, Blacksmith, School, Jail, Court House and more! ALL of the activities and events are incredible! Excellent for BIRD WATCHING since it is right on Lake Pat! Excellent shopping in Historic Downtown Cleburne!!

Very kool place to step back in time!!

History comes alive at this very historic place!

Great outdoor history museum, and a great Confederate Museum located within.

We got Their place in stuck on the toilet all day

Awesome. Great photos and artifacts and all for a bargain entry fee.

Great place, so peaceful and wonderful staff members or volunteers. Will be back this weekend

Really pretty wooded area on the lake.

Great museum! Great people!

Nice place to go with crandkids.

Lots to see at this indoor/outdoor museum. Not expensive to visit, $5 for adults, $2 for under 18. $1 discount for groups of 8 or more. They dont take credit cards yet. Really cool collection of Native American stuff inside along with the history and pictures of Native American life and notable people. They have a scavenger hunt for the kids and completing it gets you a prize. A few things for sale and some free info books you can take.There is a real working blacksmith shop in another building. You can watch him work, hell answer any questions you have and has a bunch of awesome stuff for sale at reasonable prices. He can take cards.Very nice restrooms and a bunch of other buildings with old cool things to see from the Chisholm trail.Next to an old jail (which has a lot to see and learn about inside) there is a small little gift shop with mostly Native American stuff. Fair prices. They take cards too.Worth the visit!

We got to see this lovely place and stay on site! Most people dont know this but you can book a room above the saloon and/or even a whole cabin for the family. Its a great place to stay the night and enjoy Texas plus very educational!

Awesome place! My kids love it. Hopefully we can make it for the prairie days!

We had a blast!

Great place to take the family especially durning pioneer days.

Informational and educational was fun

Neat place - loved that you can explore on your own and how quiet it is!

Awesome place

We had a lovely time and left feeling like we made new friends. Child friendly but interesting to adults who enjoy history. We went to the museum next door as well, Big Bear. Make sure to pop into the gift shop next to the jail for hand crafted jewelry, leather pouches/ historical reenactment gear, antiques and general junk.

It was really fun walking around the trail, watching the play, getting on hay rides, eating a yummy lunch and buying lots of neckelesses and rings and bracelets and lots more! It was really fun and I plan to go often.

Alot of history...really enjoyed this place. Highly recommended!

What an amazing experience for our 4th grade students! We will definitely be bringing our students back!

Cobwebs on wagons and building needed to be clean. Went inside jail bees and dirty inside. Been more then once always the same.

What an amazing experience for our students! We will definitely be bringing our students back!

Spent great time with my nephews here many years ago

Very cool! So many neat things to look at!

Lots of neat things to look at. Just hated the spiders everywhere

Its cute but needs more attractions. Lady who taught the class on how to make a bat house was not friendly. Came across bossy and rude.

Really interesting. And outdoor walking tour that you do on your own. Lots of old building and things to see. I enjoyed myself. I would come back here with little kids and wander around. They have a picnic area where you can go with kids and spend the afternoon

Awsome place good stuff to learn nice walk

Great place for the whole family

Had a great time-museum full of wonderful things-grounds fun to explore-a enjoyable fact filled affordable expierence for our group from 10-77yrs old!

This is a great place to stop and learn about the Chisolm Trail. Great photo ops.

This place is a connection to a time past. In the grand scheme of things it was not so long ago, yet I think it could easily be argued that society has changed more since then than in the 4,000 plus years previous.

Very informational lots to explore

Needs more about the Chisholm Trail. Has a few buildings of historic interest, but the connection to the trail is minimal.

Interesting place to visit in Cleburne.

We went there on a cold day but the inside museum was nice.

A lot of neat stuff to see but not super exciting.

These folks are grear!!

Love this place, definitely recommend this place

Great place! On hands experience. My grandkids loved it.
