The Frijole Ranch was built about 1876 by the Rader Brothers by Frijole Spring. The ranch complex consists of seven buildings and represents the most complete early ranching compound in the Guadalupe Mountains that still stands today. The National Park Service eventually purchased Frijole Ranch in 1966 and it has served many roles for the park, including as an employee residence and utility buildings, a Park Service operations center, and, beginning in 1992, as its current iteration as an interpretive center and museum. The museum has exhibits and information about the human history of the Guadalupes from Native Americans who also lived around Frijole Spring for millennia, to the early ranchers and the Rader family, to National Park Service. There are also staff members present to answer questions as well as bathroom facilities and a picnic area nearby.
