Charles and Mary Ann Goodnight Ranch House
Charles and Mary Ann Goodnight Ranch House, Victorian ranch house in Armstrong County, Texas
The Charles and Mary Ann Goodnight Ranch House features a two-story design with a 268-square-foot sleeping porch overlooking the Texas Panhandle landscape.
Built in 1888, the residence belonged to Charles Goodnight, who established the first cattle ranch in the Texas Panhandle and invented the chuck wagon.
The ranch house represents the development of cattle ranching in Texas, with Charles Goodnight forming partnerships with Native American leaders and English investors.
The property remains open for visitors Tuesday through Saturday from 10 AM to 5 PM, offering programs about ranching history at the Learning Center.
The ranch maintains descendants of the original bison herd preserved by Mary Ann Goodnight, who initiated early wildlife conservation efforts in Texas.
