Texas Ranch House

110 degrees. 200 cows. 47,000 acres. And 15 people. Can they make it?

Saddle up for the latest hands-on history series. This four-part series from the producers of Colonial House and Frontier House challenges a group of intrepid time-travelers to experience the exhilaration and exhaustion of life in the Old West. Participants ranch, rope, ride and pass nights under the stars and in their haciendas as they experience life in the real West of the American cowboy. As it follows the daily challenges of the time-travelers, the series illuminates the fascinating story of merging cultures and changing social dynamics in post-Civil War Texas, and explores the country’s diverse ancestry, including the cultures of European immigrants, Hispanics, African Americans and Native Americans.
