The Comanches reigned supreme in West Texas for 150 years until the Buffalo hunters arrived large numbers in 1870s. Buffalo Gap is a small town that began as a result of this chapter of Texas history.

I always look forward to your videos!
You get me every time LOL Drop It Like It's Hot
I need to put that on my list
Buffalo Gap! Went there when I was stationed at Dyess AFB and I loved it.
It was also mentioned in an episode of "The Lone Ranger."
You missed Deutchlander (best fried catfish anywhere) and Perini Ranch Steakhouse (Best steak anywhere).
Perini Ranch Steakhouse in Buffalo Gap is a premier steakhouse in Texas and America. It’s been rated in Texas Monthly. They were setting up on the WH lawn for an event when 9/11 hit. So they fed the first responders instead. They have catered in Japan and for Robert Duvall at his home in Virginia. Missing that was a big omission.
The printing machines in the old print shop look fascinating. Great video!
Home. ❤
Enjoy your videos
I thoroughly enjoy every one of your videos. The passionate interest you have in history and what makes these places so special is felt. I love the music and background sounds mixed in throughout. It really brings these images to life. Your voice is calm and easy to listen to. You sir, need your own full time show!
Are you any kin to a man named Courtland Savage, your voice could pass for his any day. Enjoy your videos. God Bless.
Fascinating!
I've been there twice, a great venue, and it's interesting to drive there and then after spending a lot of time there because there is much to see and enjoy, I recommend continuing on to Fort Phantom hill, an old cavalry fort, complete with its own ghost story! Worth the scenic drive to both venues. Thanks, Secrets of Texas for this great post.
I guess I got to run by there, I only live 45 minutes to the east of it.
Just a heads up to everyone,
I can pick up packages of ground Buffalo meat at my local HEB store,
The meat is very tasty and super lean ,
It makes awesome hamburgers out on the grill, not too mention really great vegetable -beef soups, especially with cornbread ,
I really believe that they sale larger cuts of Buffalo meat too??,
But bUFFALO is definitely something good for people who are on a
Low-fat , or a restricted fat diet,
But bUFFALO is awesome ,
Enjoy the show
We visited here 3 years ago. Worth your time. Remember, no striking matches on the courthouse walls and don't spit on the floor. $10 dollar fine says the sign.
No mention of them killing all the buffalo off to starve the Indians is there though?
Been there to work. Love to go back and explore!
Then the white man came and miss managed all the resources in the environment
My hometown ,my dad built that post office when he was postmaster
My wife and I stayed at a neat 1880’s two story house there which is now a B&B. We toured the museum grounds too. A year later I bought my sister a steak dinner at nearby Perini Ranch.
I've been using YouTube since it launched back in 2006 and this video is the only one I can recall that so effectively used proper editing (and judicious use) of music and sound effects to enhance the content. As someone who has trouble hearing with music and voice playing at the same time I sincerely appreciated it and I enjoyed it very much. Subscribed 🪱
These old town are amazing and so full of history. I just made a trip to Terlingua. I was surprised of how much it has to offer. Now is the perfect time to do the river raft trip through Santa Elena Canyon. The water is high and at a perfect flow. My nephew Chris is a guide on the Rio Grande with Big Bend Boating and Hiking Company. They also do overnight trips on river and trail hike tours. Amazing trips! Hope you can get a chance to see it.
Wanted to watch this video because I have a cowboy cookbook by Tom Perini, who has a steakhouse in Buffalo Gap.
