2002 - Goodnight Barn
Built in 1870, the barn is the sole surviving structure from the Goodnight Rock Canon Ranch, the northern headquarters for the Goodnight-Loving cattle trail that extended from Texas to Colorado. In 1864, the Goodnight-Loving Trail was the most heavily traveled trail of the time in the southwest. This ground-breaking cattle drive helped to develop Colorado’s ranching industry. Goodnight himself is known for his innovations in cattle ranching and breeding, and even been credited with the invention of the chuck wagon. The Goodnight Barn was constructed from sandstone quarried from a nearby canyon and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
In 2002, the barn was in danger of being relocated to the National Ranching Heritage Center in Lubbock, Texas. Once listed on the Most Endangered Places, Colorado Preservation, Inc. secured support from U.S. Representative Scott McInnis to keep the barn in Colorado. An agreement was reached with then owner Transit Mix, to relocate their operation away from the site. Funding was secured from several sources, including the State Historical Fund, for the City of Pueblo to purchase the barn and two adjoining acres and to conduct an assessment of the building’s condition in 2004. An Architectural and Historical Archaeology Assessment was also completed in December 2006. Additional funding was granted by Scenic Byways to study an interpretive roadside pull-off for the site. An informational sign was placed to educate visitors on the importance of the site. The next step is rehabilitating the barn for future use as a possible interpretive site on a riparian trail along the Arkansas River. Restoration steps include replacing the temporary roofing, restoring the cupola, replacing the severely damaged masonry (possibly from the same quarry as the original stone), and deciding whether to repair or tear down the 1940s addition.
A collaborative effort between local governments, nonprofit organizations, Colorado Preservation, Inc. and dedicated citizens created the Goodnight Barn Stakeholders group, which meets to discuss future plans for the building and fundraising efforts. The $42,000 stabilization project began in the fall of 2014.

The Last Buffalo - Hope
A small number of buffalo had survived the mass slaughter by hiding in the remote canyons of Texas. But even here they were under threat from ranchers and hunters. Some had strayed onto a vast cattle ranch belonging to Charles Goodnight. His wife Molly rescued and hand reared a few calves. They adapted well and, before long, the Goodnights had a captive buffalo herd.

Palo Duro Canyon, Scenic Drive!
Palo Duro Canyon State Park opened on July 4, 1934 and contains 29,182 acres of the scenic, northern most portion of the Palo Duro Canyon. The Civilian Conservation Corps of the 1930's constructed most of the buildings and roads still in use by park staff and visitors.
The Canyon is 120 miles long, as much as 20 miles wide, and has a maximum depth of more than 800 feet. Its elevation at the rim is 3,500 feet above sea level. It is often claimed that Palo Duro Canyon is the second largest canyon in the United States. The largest, the Grand Canyon, is 277 miles long, 18 miles wide, and 6,000 ft. deep.
Palo Duro Canyon was formed by water erosion from the Prairie Dog Town Fork of the Red River. The water deepens the canyon by moving sediment downstream. Wind and water erosion gradually widen the canyon.
Early Spanish Explorers are believed to have discovered the area and dubbed the canyon Palo Duro which is Spanish for hard wood in reference to the abundant mesquite and juniper trees.
Humans have resided in the canyon for approximately 12,000 years. Early settlers were nomadic tribes that hunted mammoth, giant bison, and other large game animals. Later, Apache Indians lived in the canyon, but were soon replaced by Comanche and Kiowa tribes who resided in the area until 1874. At that time, Col. Ranald Mackenzie was sent into the area to transport the Native Americans to Oklahoma. Col. Mackenzie and the 4th Cavalry were able to capture more than 1,400 horses belonging to the tribe. After keeping some of the best horses for themselves, the remainder were taken to nearby Tule Canyon and destroyed. Cut off from their only means of transportation, the Native Americans soon surrendered.
In 1876, Charles Goodnight entered the canyon and opened the JA Ranch. At its peak, the ranch supported more than 100,000 head of cattle. Goodnight operated the ranch until 1890. Although only a fraction of its original size, the JA Ranch remains a working ranch today.

Working Texas: From Ranchers and Roughnecks to Sodbusters and Spacemen
Texas has a very diverse economy: From the ranches of West Texas and the Panhandle to the Johnson Space Center near Houston, there are millions of people in our state working many different and fascinating types of jobs.
This video is a hands-on look at working in those industries. During this program we'll visit with Texas farmers, ranchers, loggers and roughnecks who will tell us about their professions and why they work in them. We'll go with them out into the fields and forests, and out onto the ranges to get a close-up perspective of their everyday life. We'll also take a historical view of the major industries in Texas and how they've changed over the years, from the early pioneer days all the way up to the present high-tech computer and space age industries.
If you've ever wondered what it's like to be out logging trees, punching cattle, raising crops or wrestling pipe in the oilfield, then this video will give you a first-hand insight into these truly Texas vocations. Vocations that for many of these people are a labor of love.
