Taylor County History Center

Buffalo Gap Historic Village, home of the Taylor County History Center, gathers more than a dozen original frontier buildings around the county's first courthouse in Buffalo Gap, Texas, just south of Abilene. The buildings date from roughly 1875 to 1925 and include the Knight-Sayles log cabin, a train depot, a bank, a schoolhouse, a blacksmith shop, and other structures relocated from around the county. For events, the 1902 Buffalo Gap Chapel offers hardwood floors and stained glass windows for small weddings or funerals, with a private bride's room in the adjacent Wagon Barn. The Historic Taylor County Courthouse and the entire Village can also be rented, and the on-site Reddell Guest House provides overnight accommodations for wedding parties.
