Fascinating visiting this little place. We had other reasons for being in the area. This is not a place I would go out of my way to visit but wouldn't miss it if I were in the area for any other reason. What a fascinating lady.

Stopped in to visit while traveling around Big Bend area. Very personable man greeted us and showed us around then allowed us to wonder on our own. Nicely arranged. Allowed us to drive through portions of Stillwell Ranch. Extra special. A little research on Hallie Stillwell prior to visit is helpful toward your appreciation of the lady's life but not necessary. There are enough exhibits to give you an idea of what a strong woman she was. Read her autobiography - available at the store.

Interesting history, and an excellent place to rockhound. Check in at the store, and let them know what you are interested in, and they will recommend an area for you.

We were exploring the La Linda closed bridge and ghost town down the road from this store. If you pass this store you will dead end there and its an amazing sight. The bridge is barricaded that used to cross into Mexico. We drank a couple beers on the porch here and grabbed some snacks. Out in the middle of nowhere you better take advantage of your stops.

You are not going to just happen on this place. It is just outside the east entrance of Big Bend National Park. It is the remains of the old Stillwell Ranch. They have camping, a small convenience store, and the "museum" devoted to Hallie Stillwell, definitely one of the characters of the area. The camping, both RV with hookups, and tent camping is OK. The store is fun since it is still managed by some of the stillwell decedents. They are friendly and more than willing to share stories of the old times. The museum is definitely funky. You get the key from the store to visit the museum. You can watch a video about Hallie, which is quite interesting. There are a few funky exhibits. So, if you find yourself at the campground or store, definitely visit the museum, but don't come all the way out just to visit.

Well worth the trip, as this fabulous little house gives you a personal view of the history of the amazing Hallie Stillwell.

This small museum gives you a look at the life of an amazing woman, Miss Hallie Stillwell. Pioneer, teacher, rancher and member of the Cowgirl Hall of Fame.

Hallie was an incredible woman who lived through many tough times. An amazingly strong woman who persevered where we'd all give in. Read her two books: "I'll Gather My Geese" and "My Goose is Cooked" for stories from her life. Sorry this amazing woman has passed on, but her stories remain.

Hally's grand daughter was our host and she was so informative and friendly. I had been there before when her mother was running the place but it was a very busy day with at least 10 Motorcyclist and bikers trying to get gas and did not get the tour.Places like this need to go on for future generations and need your support.

There is so much interesting history to learn about just from the artifacts, antiques & reading material about this one person. Hallie Stillwell had one of the most interesting lives I've ever ready about. She's a cornerstone in the history of that area.
