Become an Amistad Junior Ranger!

Learn interesting things about Amistad National Recreation Area as you complete your Junior Ranger booklet. When you are done, you will get to take the pledge and receive a badge and patch. Then you can help National Park Service rangers take care of the parks by practicing Leave No Trace principles and telling others about why Amistad is special and how to take care of it.

Stop by the Visitor Center to receive your free Junior Ranger booklet filled with fun and educational activities. Complete as many pages as you can to become an Amistad Junior Ranger. Learn more about this program and get a PDF version of the booklet on the Junior Ranger page.

 

Archeology Fair

Every October, on a very special Saturday, the Whitehead Memorial Museum becomes host to a magical event. History comes to life! Step back in time to enjoy the old lifeways. Make adobe bricks. Roll corn into meal on a grinding stone. Create cordage and painted pebbles similar to what the Ancient People of the Lower Pecos Region made thousands of years ago. See Buffalo Soldiers and the Texas Camel Corps. These and many more activities await!

The Whitehead Memorial Museum is located at 1308 South Main Street, Del Rio, TX.
