In a town filled with history, few places tell Buffalo Gap’s story quite like the Reddell House. Built in the late 1800s, this home has seen ranchers, travelers, and business owners come and go, its walls absorbing the stories of a changing town.

The Reddell family was deeply involved in Buffalo Gap’s growth. Their home was more than just a residence—it was a meeting place, a safe haven, and a symbol of prosperity at a time when the town was still young.

Over the years, the house was expanded and remodeled, but much of its original structure remains. Hand-made wooden beams, period furnishings, and historical photographs still tell the story of the people who lived here.

Fun Fact: Some say the Reddell House has its own friendly ghost—a former resident who still “keeps an eye” on the home. Guests have reported feeling a light tap on the shoulder or hearing unexplained whispers in empty rooms!

Today, the Buffalo Gap Historic Village preserves the Reddell House as a window into the past. Visitors can step inside and experience what life was like in Buffalo Gap’s early days.

If these walls could talk, what stories would they tell? Perhaps they’d speak of family dinners, quiet evenings by lamplight, or the changing times of a growing town. As our tour comes to a close, we hope you’ve gained a deeper appreciation for Buffalo Gap’s rich history. Thank you for joining us—and don’t forget to explore more of what this special town has to offer!
