Visit the University of Texas of the Permian Basin to see an almost life-size replica of Stonehenge; just as big, but not as tall, as the original in England. Also at the University is a meteorite from the nearby Odessa Meteor Crater. The town is spotted with buildings that hearken back to the pioneer and ranching roots of the town's history. Visit Parker Ranch House Museum or the White-Pool House: a national landmark, as well as being the oldest building in town.
