It’s not quite the White House, but the childhood home of former president George W. Bush is open for touring — the house has been restored to look as it did during the 1950s. Those eager to learn more about Midland’s rich history as an oil town, meanwhile, should make time to explore the Permian Basin Petroleum Museum. Nature enthusiasts will love the nearly 50 acre Sibley Nature Center in Hogan Park, which offers guided trail hikes, an observation bee colony and taxidermy exhibits.
