Their People of the Plains exhibit chronicles 14,000 years of human occupation and how the people of the southern plains survived. The Pioneer Town is a recreated small town with authentic items in buildings like a general store and blacksmith shop.

I especially liked the Petroleum Wing, which tells the story of the Oil Boom of the '20s and '30s. It describes the different jobs men held on location and their duties. It even has sample drill bits that are used and you can see how it actually operates. This display gives you a good overview of all the different parts that go into drilling oil, although I can’t say that at the end I really understood it all.

They had a special exhibit that chronicled the "Little Black Dress" over the years. You see how the materials changed, the styles changed, and how the dresses got a little sexier over the years. The owner and where it was purchased help identify each dress. This was a fun exhibit.

The museum has rotating art exhibits. I saw one on Albert H. Schmidt with paintings focusing on New Mexico Art. There were many mediums including pastel, graphite, crayon, and charcoal.

Additional exhibits include Paleontology and Geology, depicting Texas Panhandle life millions of years ago; a Windmill exhibit tells the story of windmills and their use; automobiles are exhibited in a recreated car dealership featuring some older cars; firearms; and a wagon and buggy collection.
