- Directions:
- Mount Carmel Massacre Site. Northeast of the city. Hwy 2491 (Elk Rd) about five miles east of Loop 340. You'll come to a split in the road, but stay on 2491 which bears to the left. Not far from the split you'll see large, wavy metal gates on the left (Double E Ranch Rd). Just beyond that property is a gravel road on the left (Double EE Ranch Rd). Turn down that gravel road. The Mount Carmel property is a short distance on the right. No entry if the gate is closed or inclement weather.

- Worth a Detour
You can walk the actual site where the massacre happened and see the remains left after the siege. Charles and Alexa Pace, trustees and caretakers of the Church site, can answer any historic questions you may have. Charles has been a Branch Davidian believer since 1973 and an ordained minister since 1984. He did not follow Koresh and has survived his delusional teachings and lives to tell the "Rest of the Story" you will find very interesting.
Please be respectful of this private property and please donate to keep it open and maintained for others. Worth a visit to learn the truth about Waco!
[Charles Pace, 07/06/2020]The original swimming pool from the site of the 1993 Branch Davidian siege is the last remaining component of the original compound, and can still be visited today. The site is open if the gate is open.
