JA Ranch, Historic ranch in Armstrong County, Texas, US.
The JA Ranch spans across extensive terrain within the Palo Duro Canyon, featuring original stone buildings and wooden structures from its establishment period.
Founded in 1876 by Charles Goodnight and John George Adair, the ranch represents the oldest continuous cattle operation in the Texas Panhandle region.
The ranch museum displays artifacts and documents that illustrate the evolution of cattle ranching practices from open range methods to modern techniques.
Visitors can access the ranch museum south of US Route 287, where they can explore the two-story main house with its preserved 19th-century architecture.
The property maintains its original purpose as an active cattle ranch while simultaneously operating as a National Historic Landmark since 1960.
