Things To Do

The name itself evokes intrigue, mystery, misconception, and debate. Regardless of what you’ve read or heard about this tiny Far West Texas town of fewer than 2,000 citizens, there remains a special, often indefinable quality that inspires, expands, and explores creativity.

But even to the first-time uninformed visitor, a brief drive or walk around town with its remarkable architectural heritage gives one an immediate visual cue that this is no ordinary remote town. Yet, it’s the people of a town that define the community more than the built environment.

Climb the stairs of the Presidio County Courthouse and discover a panorama that puts things in perspective. Pinpoint the exact moment where the town ends, and the vastness of space begins. See mystery lights. See Marfa.
