Have passed this building many times. Finally, did a road trip to see it. The website says it was open on Wednesday and it was even though the Maps app said it was closed. Glad we believed the website. The admission price was only $6 for adult. I thought it was reasonable. There are World War I and II posters on the wall. There is also an exhibit of the Texas Vietnam vets dog tags. These were Texans who died in the war. The vehicle exhibits was very informative. The special exhibit on D-Day was also very good. It is small and very good. It is worth visiting.

New to Aggieland, I found this memorial thoughtful and a fitting tribute to the lives that were lost in that terrible accident. We went at dusk and thought the lighting added an even greater dimension to the memorial.

My wife and I took our grand kids ages 4 to 11 hiking at Lick Creek Trail. The hike was short due to their young ages but very enjoyable. The trails were well kept and the nature center was nice. We had a great time and even saw an armadillo walking across the trail in front of us. We will definitely do it again
