McDonald's Observatory: "Spend the day exploring the Decoding Starlight exhibit and enjoy a Solar Viewing Program (typically 45-50 minutes) in the theater featuring live (weather dependent) telescope images of our nearest star, the Sun, including views of such solar features as sunspots, prominences, and flares. Then take an approximately 90-100-minute tour with a knowledgeable guide to one of our large research telescopes immediately following the Solar Viewings. Stick around as the sky gets dark for a 2 hour Star Party where you will enjoy the night sky constellation tour and views of celestial objects through a number of telescopes."
Hotel Paisano - "June 1955—Warner Brothers comes to Marfa and makes the Hotel Paisano its headquarters for the filming of the soon to be classic movie GIANT. Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson and James Dean plus 150 other cast members and crew make the Hotel Paisano their gathering place for six weeks of the summer. After the first two weeks of their visit, the three main stars move to private residences in Marfa, however, they all continue to dine at the hotel, socialize in the lobby and lounge area, and meet to watch dailies from a projector that director George Stevens sets up in the ballroom. Today—The Hotel Paisano is completely renovated with 41 rooms including a number of suites as well as original historic rooms, a seasonally heated pool, 3,000 sq ft of retail and office space, a 3,000 sq ft ballroom and conference space, fitness center, GIANT memorabilia room, and a restaurant and lounge with courtyard seating. The Hotel Paisano is once again a destination in West Texas."
