Western Heritage Collection
Montague County saw millions of Texas Longhorns pass through on their way to Kansas markets along the famous Chisholm Trail. Drovers pushed herds through the County to Red River Station, where the Trail crossed the mighty Red River. Nocona's annual Chisholm Trail Rodeo with a history spanning over sixty years, pays tribute to this history. Our new Western Heritage Exhibit Hall will tells the complete story!
