Wichita Falls Attractions

Built in 1909 for Frank Kell and his family, the Kell House Museum is a testament to the history of Wichita Falls. Showcasing original pieces from the Kell family, the Museum tells the story of the founding and growth of Wichita Falls through the eyes of one of its prominent families. Visitors step back in time as they enter the beautiful red oak and beveled glass door into a receiving room decorated in Victorian style by Mrs. Kell and her daughter, Willie May. Tours focus on Kell family contributions to the city they helped to nurture and grow.

The museum features changing art and science exhibits as well as a planetarium.

On display in the museum is a collection of vintage railcars.

The Theatre and Opry House features family oriented entertainment.

Vernon (pop. 12,000) is primarily a farming, ranching, and oil center. Of interest in the town are a number of historical homes, parks, and museums.

The museum depicts the history of ranching in the area, and displays American Indian artifacts, pioneer items, rocks and minerals and big-game trophies.
