San Angelo sits on the Concho River in West Texas, a city built around Fort Concho, a frontier fort established in 1867 that now stands as a National Historic Landmark with restored barracks and a museum. The Concho River Walk winds through downtown with gardens, public art, and the famous water lily collection at Civic League Park. The San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts, with its distinctive saddle shaped roof, anchors the cultural district, and Miss Hattie's Bordello Museum tells a cheekier chapter of the city's past. Angelo State University brings students and energy to the city.
