Armstrong County Texas Defensive Driving

Armstrong County is known for its small-town storefronts like Gem Theatre and museums. These very historical museums educate us on the background of the families who settled the Panhandle and how this impacted Texas.

From their contributions made from the past and present, learn all about the Charles Goodnight and Mary Ann (Molly) Goodnight Ranch House known as the Charles Goodnight Historical Center. The same land owned by Charles is the J A Ranch/Rancher’s dugout in the Palo Duro Canyon Area. Charles is famous for being an American cattle rancher in the American West and was given the nickname “Father of the Texas Panhandle”. He joined the Texas Ranger in 1857 and fought in the confederacy in the Civil War.

Charles invented the chuck wagon in 1866 as a way to keep his drivers fed from Texas as they traveled North. The wagon was used as a portable cowboy kitchen wagon whenever on the cattle trail by using an army surplus Studebaker wagon which many consider the very first food truck.

Armstrong City, known as Washburn, was changed and renamed to Claude in 1890 in honor of Claude Ayers, a railroad engineer who brought the first Fort Worth & Denver passenger train to town. When you are visiting the city of Wayside, Tx you will find a popular Ranch built-in 1965 called “The Hidden Falls Ranch.” This place offers a fun summer camp for children and has so much to see and do here.
