The Witte Museum Rock Art Foundation Meyers Spring Ranch Tour
Saturday, May 27, 2017
10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
This tour is limited to 35 participants
Meyers Spring, a major source of water in dry west Texas, has been a center for human activity for thousands of years. At the spring, ancient people left Pecos River style rock art. American Indian artists later recorded images of European contact over the older paintings. Still later, the Seminole Scouts and local ranchers left their marks. This site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 and today is privately owned. The Witte Museum thanks the landowner for their stewardship of this unique cultural resource and for graciously providing access. The Witte Museum is pleased to invite you to tour this very important rock art and historic site.
