There are alot of nice museums here and nice parks and library system in Arlington, TX. Fort Worth has three museums all within walking distance from each other: The Amon Carter Museum (which is free), the Modern Museum of art, which is quite new and very interesting architecture, and the Kimbell Museum, a classic place with wonderful antiquities and a great lunch buffet. The State Park system is pretty decent with a great variety of different parks and four distinct areas within the State of Texas, the west which is flat but with interesting rock formations, etc. the south with the Hill Country and Austin, the Piney woods of east Tx with 3 national forests, and the northern area home to Dallas and Fort Worth, which is quite green and leafy. People like it when they come to visit, providing they come before the heat (May thru Sept). Of course I am originally from Buffalo so this would make me a bit uncomfortable but the other months are pretty nice if you don't suffer from allergies. I have alot of allergy problems and the weather is always changing here. Signed...Jane M.
