A Brief History of the Big Springs Ranch on the Frio

The Big Springs Ranch for Children near Leakey was founded in 1997 as a sister campus to the Hill Country Youth Ranch in Ingram.  Both campuses are dedicated to providing long-term therapeutic care and foster parenting for abused, neglected, or abandoned children from all over Texas.

The ranch was a gift from the Perry family who purchased it in 1927.  Miss Oma Bell Perry lived on the Ranch until her death in 2003.
