The Waggoner Gallery
When W.T. Waggoner was just a lad, he and his father set about on an adventure that would end with a ranching empire of well over 500,000 acres of Texas land, covering parts of six counties. The Waggoner Ranch would come to be known as the largest ranch in the United States under one fence at 530,000 acres.
Learn about the history of the ranching industry in Wilbarger County, the Waggoner Ranch, and what it means to be a Cowboy while exploring the Waggoner Gallery.
The room is presided over by the quintessential cowboy, wearing classic articles of the Texas range.. seen today as well as over 100 years ago.
Ranching wasn’t the only interest of the Waggoner family! Rodeo and polo are just a few examples of their other ventures.
The Electra Waggoner Biggs Exhibit delights the artistic senses with a true-to-life replica of her studio housed on the Ranch.
