Abilene is located in typical Texan “Big Sky Country” approximately two and a half hours west of Fort Worth. History buffs and others who would like to learn about the history of Texas will enjoy a visit to the Frontier Texas Museum which uses brilliant modern technology to tell the Texas story from the earliest native inhabitants to the arrival of the railway. You can take a nostalgic journey back in time at the Taylor County History Center where at least fifteen historic buildings and their contents are showcased. Other Abilene attractions include Fort Phantom Hill, Dyess Air Force Base, the Grace Art Museum and the fabulous Abilene Zoo.
