👀 Join us in watching Finding the Battle of Blanco Canyon, presented by Todd Smith, on our YouTube channel this Saturday at 1:00 PM. Todd spoke to a packed room during our Comanchero Rendezvous at the museum on June 6 this year. This is the full speech and it is roughly an hour long, and a very interesting listen for our local history fans.

Hello Everyone!

Our museum is 17 minutes away from Caprock Canyons State Park. The museum is opened by volunteers Saturdays 10-4. We cover pre-20th century history from Swisher, Briscoe, Hall, Floyd, Motley, and Crosby counties. Everything you see from the museum to our website and page is volunteer made so we thank anyone who has volunteered for their efforts.
