Museum, which explores Abilene's history as part of the Old West. The Grace Museum, located in a historic hotel, celebrates art in Texas with both permanent and traveling exhibits. The 1930s Paramount Theatre provides a beautiful setting in which to enjoy a variety of performances. Fort Phantom Hill, home to the remains of an 1851 army post, provides a more haunting experience.
