Legacy of the Taylor-Stevenson Ranch Area
Support our Ranch
The Taylor-Stevenson Ranch is a treasure that seven generations of the family have fought hard to preserve and on which they still live or maintain various areas.
The 150-year-old working ranch is one of the oldest Black-owned ranches in the United States, complete with an assortment of livestock. In the shadows of the 4th largest city in the country, the Stevensons have carved out a legacy that can provide a momentary escape from the hurried pace of the city.

During the 1940s and early 50s, the ranch was home to Sky Ranch Flying School, the first black-owned airport and aviation school in the nation. Established by three former Tuskegee Airmen, who were mechanics for the famed World War II Tuskegee Airmen.
The property is also officially listed as a Texas Century Ranch, an honor reserved for ranches operated by the same family for more than 100 years and certified by the Commissioner of the Texas Department of Agriculture.
The Ranch continues to be run with family love and values. |
