PRESENTING THE PANHANDLE
At the heart of the Texas Panhandle is Hutchinson County, rich in legend and lore as big as the Lone Star State itself. The county’s largest city is Borger (population 22,150), and at the heart of town is the Hutchinson County Historical Museum. Its collection covers lots of chronological ground, from the era of the ancient Antelope Creek people through that of succeeding southern Plains Indians, trappers, traders, buffalo hunters, the Battles of Adobe Walls and the 1921 discovery of oil on Samuel Burk Burnett’s 6666 (“Four Sixes”) Ranch.
