We had an hour plus to spend and we chose this destination. It was well worth the visit. Lots of buildings to see and a LOT of history about ranching. Whether you like cows or not, this is a place packed full of info about a century of activity on the High Plains.

Located at the edge of the beautiful Texas Tech campus, this Center impresses you right from the start with life size sculptures of horses running over the range. Entrance is free with a donation encouraged. Great collections of art and memorabilia. Truly outstanding is the collection of actual houses , barns, pens etc. ranging from early days of dugouts to...

There are a few indoors exhibits that are nice to look at. But look forward to the outdoor adventure. There is a long walkway that takes you go see several old farm buildings. They range from one room homes to a trainstation. My son just loved it. This was his favorite stop in Lubbock. Try to go on a sunny... More
