Episode Details

Fifty years strong, the National Ranching Heritage Center in Lubbock celebrates its milestone anniversary with a sprawling 19-acre park featuring 55 authentic historic buildings—from 1700s homesteads to 20th-century ranches. Born from a Texas Tech president’s inspiration after seeing a Norwegian counterpart, the center preserves real ranch life, not replicas, where families once lived and worked. Now, it partners with the author of “Hank the Cowdog” to teach kids hands-on ranching skills, linking past to present and helping families connect with their roots. Inside the main building, deeper exhibits reveal the stories of the people who shaped the American West—keeping ranching heritage alive for generations to come.
