Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge, National wildlife refuge in Grayson County, United States.
Description

History
The refuge was established in 1946 to preserve natural habitats for migratory and native animal species. It was created during a period when protecting bird migration corridors became increasingly important across the United States.
Culture
The refuge functions as an educational center where visitors learn about Texas wildlife through exhibits, guided programs, and interpretive materials.
Practical
The Wildlife Drive offers an easy way to explore the grounds by car, followed by several walking paths of varying lengths for those on foot. The best viewing opportunities are found at observation areas, especially during early morning or late afternoon hours.
