| The Panhandle-Plains
Historical Society was the first state museum in Texas, opening in
it's current location, in Canyon, Texas, in April of 1933, and is still
the state's largest historical museum. Although the majority of it's
exhibits range from a hall devoted to windmills (with a full scale working
model) to the petroleum industry, 19th Century settlement and local paleontology,
there is also an excellent exhibit of the wide range of local lithic arifacts,
with a special emphasis on Alibates flintwork and other regional pre-columbian
sites.
The exhibits are unusually well labeled and
nicely displayed. It allows many of these photos to literally
speak for themselves.
