The Wilbarger County Historical Museum is largely the product of a single man, Preston Carey, who has been collecting artifacts tied to the county practically all of his life. The museum is located in the old county museum The hosted tour took much longer than I expected but I loved every minute.

My first visit to the park was after the last remaining genetically pure remnants of the Southern Heard of American Bison were donated to the State of Texas and moved from the JA Ranch to the park as the official State of Texas Bison Herd. That was during the days when I was working as a still photographer and I would need to look for some of the photos to show here.

I have decades of memories, tons of photos, and a few videos captured in Palo Duro Canyon State Park. But I don't have the time to go into all of that for now. I will share a few videos for now and expand when I come across old or new material to add.

I offer many thanks to Dave Anderson and Miles Childers for granting me access to the historic LX Ranch for Spring Gathering. My first visit was in 2005 and I was working primarily with still photography but getting used to recording video without the help of a tripod in most circumstances.
The video above was the first to be produced and exercise my primitive editing skills from the series. The LX was still hiring Ted to bring his chuck wagon out to feed the hands for two weeks. The camp moved after the first week and I made my appearance as the second camp was being set up. I wish I could have caught the chuck wagon getting rigged up too.

Fort Concho National Historic Landmark is the best-preserved 1800s military fort I have visited so far. A lot of that has to do with how the city of San Angelo, Texas leased out some of the buildings for commercial, non-profit, and residential uses. The Fort Concho Foundation was established in 1976 to provide an additional level of support for the site, with funds helping to restore the fort, create special programming, attract new exhibits, bring guest speakers, and generally assist with many larger and longer-term projects that the fort’s general operating budget can not accommodate.
This site is a large place and I had to break up my visit into three parts that you can view embedded below. Click on the full-screen symbol in the video player to get the big picture.
