Nightengale Archaeological Center

Two children in life jackets laugh and hold tight as they ride an inflatable tube being pulled across a lake, water splashing around them. A handwritten note in the corner reads, Dont forget to register your kid for summer camp!.

Along the shores of Lake LBJ, Nightengale Archaeological Center offers the perfect blend of recreation with history, and every visit is an opportunity to discover more. Whether you're planning a field trip or a private excursion, this park promises an adventure for curious minds of all ages. Careful where you step - you never know what you might uncover.
