Known as the Friendly Frontier of Texas,
Abilene retains its traditional Wild West spirit in a contemporary setting. One
fine example of this is Frontier
Texas, a museum that brings the Wild West back to life through hands-on displays
and modern exhibits that take visitors back to the days when Texas was a lawless
expanse of sagebrush. The Abilene
Zoo is another popular attraction, boasting over 200 species of animals from
around the world and offering admission for a nominal cost. One of the city's
more unique attractions is the National
Center for Children's Illustrated Literature, a museum that celebrates the
book illustrations that stoke young imaginations. The Dyess
Air Force Base is found in Abilene as well and is home to bombers and transport
planes used by the U.S. military. Located just outside Abilene, the Buffalo
Gap Historic Village interprets local history from the 1870s to the 1920s,
showcasing American Indian artifacts, Frontier firearms and 20 historic buildings.
