@postcardnews

Just under an hour from Corpus Christi, King Ranch is often called the birthplace of American ranching. Covering more land than the state of Rhode Island, this historic operation welcomes visitors for immersive tours that highlight its rich cowboy heritage and continuing agricultural innovation. The ranch’s museum and guided outings, including birdwatching excursions, offer a fascinating look at the intersection of Texan history and conservation. Both Texas Monthly and Condé Nast Traveler recommend King Ranch for its pivotal role in the region’s identity and its ongoing connection to the local community. Don’t miss the on-site store for artisanal goods and classic ranch gear.
