Got our Halloween Mini Dumplings in. Some glow in the dark.
Come out and see our dumplings and more at the gift shop.

Yesterday, we spent the day at the Collingsworth County Museum in Wellington for another great directors meeting!

They have so many unique, artifacts and fascinating pieces of history, including some Bonnie and Clyde memorabilia that are definitely worth seeing.

We always enjoy getting together with all the museum directors, and learning more about the history of our area. 🏛️🪶

⛏️ Get ready to dig into the past! 🏺

Archaeology Day is back at the Museum of the Plains on Saturday, October 10! 🌞

Kids will get hands-on with history as they make clay pinch pots, try their hand at throwing an atlatl, dig for artifacts, play a traditional Native American game, and create their own calendar.

It’s one of our favorite events and a great way for kids to learn about the past while having fun!

October 10 | 1:00 p.m. | Museum of the Plains 📅

Come explore, create, dig, and discover! 🏺⛏️🦬

For years, these two incredible horse sculptures have been part of the Museum of the Plains. Each sculpture was carved from a single log by artist J. Chester Armstrong.

A few weeks ago, we had the privilege of welcoming Armstrong back to the museum alongside his wife and Mr. Courson, who donated the sculptures. Seeing Armstrong standing beside the horses he created so many years ago was a truly special moment.🐴

We currently have an Amazon Wish List with supplies specifically needed for our educational field trips.

Already have something on our list at home? If you have new or gently used items that could be useful for our field trips, we’d be happy to consider those donations as well!

Every donation, big or small, helps us make our field trips engaging and memorable for students. Thank you for supporting the Museum of the Plains! ❤️🛒🛍️

Pioneer Day wouldn’t be the same without these girls (and boy)! 📣❤️

Every year, Perryton Junior High cheerleaders come out to help run the Pioneer Day games, and they always bring all the fun and smiles!

Thank you, PJH Cheer, for another great year! 🤠❤️

Behind every great Pioneer Day is a whole lot of teamwork! ❤️

We are so thankful for our board members, volunteers, and staff who gave their time, energy, and hard work to make this year’s Pioneer Day possible. From setup to cleanup and everything in between, we couldn’t have done it without you! 🤠🌾
