Piece of sad history
Very far out from town. The pool is left and the school bus that they used as a bunker. The house that the ATF agents used to spy on the branch davidians is still there across the street. There is a new church that is built on the foundation of the compound. Im not sure if you can go in the church or not- I didn't try .Didn't see anyone working there. Several other families were out there looking around. Was hesitant to go in bc the sign says private property but you can. In fact they want people to go out there and learn the story about what happened to them and by who. They have pamphlets in a box on the box of the church with information to take.

It helped me understand a little better
I always wanted to see this to try to understand this tragedy...I think going by today did that. As others have said, there isn't much to see, but it's the spirit of the place that you have to experience. The current church building is on top of the footprint of the original building, and next to is is a pit where women and children died of gas inhalation. The cement pool is still in the back, filled with filthy water. The gate was half open, and despite the many discouraging signs, you can drive in. It's a sad place.
