Prairie Chapel Ranch is a 1,583-acre private ranch in unincorporated McLennan County, Texas, located approximately 7 miles (11 km) northwest of Crawford. The property was acquired by George W. Bush in 1999 and was used during his presidency as a vacation residence and a site for hosting visiting dignitaries; it was widely referred to in that period as the "Western White House." The ranch's name derives from the nearby Prairie Chapel School, built on land donated in the mid-19th century by German immigrant Heinrich Engelbrecht, who also donated land for the nearby Canaan Baptist Church.
