The Buffalo: Our Namesake and Legacy
March 15 - 20, 2025
Presented by Taylor Telecom & Cedar Gap Wealth Management
Join us as we celebrate the namesake legacy of Buffalo Gap, a place once teeming with the great American buffalo. This region served as a vital passage for the herds that shaped the land and sustained Native American communities for generations.
Through engaging presentations, exhibits, and storytelling, explore how the buffalo played a crucial role in the economy, culture, and survival of Indigenous peoples. Learn about their near-extinction, the efforts to bring them back, and their lasting impact on West Texas history.
Come reconnect with the spirit of the buffalo and the history that gave Buffalo Gap its name.
