Panhandle Plains Historical Museum

The Panhandle Plains Historical Museum is the largest history museum in Texas and is dedicated to the tough people that settled Northwest Texas. The museum covers the time span from dinosaurs to Conquistadors, through Cowboys and Indians, to oil production and today. You can see buckboard wagons and the settler life in a replica Pioneer town and then a 1930's gas station, complete with a Ford Model T. This museum also highlights the arts that have sprung from the region. Music, fine arts, furniture, and textiles are well represented in the galleries. Entire sections exhibit western heritage, paleontology, petroleum production, art, and transportation. Believe me, you could spend a couple of days in the museum and not see everything. If you like art and history and are in the area, you'd be missing out if you didn't stop and see this place.
