A real Lubbock gem, this open-air museum, part of the Texas Tech museum complex, tells a detailed story of what life was like on the Texas High Plains from the late 1700s until the Dust Bowl era of the 1930s. Nearly 50 preserved ranch structures are arrayed on 16 acres.
Among the highlights are the gun ports on the 1780 Los Corralitos house, the second-story stronghold on the 1872 Jowell House and the grand 1909 Barton House.
