Window on the Plains Museum by overlapgreen, April 2005
Dumas was named for Louis Dumas, president of the Panhandle Townsite Company in Sherman, who purchased railroad survey lands in the Panhandle. In January 1891 Dumas and his associates formed the Moore County Townsite Company and platted the town on a site some five miles south of South Palo Duro Creek.
Moore County Historical Museum "Window on the Plains" - A must see! Located at 1820 S. Dumas Avenue across from the Visitor's Center right on Hwy 287. We have preserved our heritage here. You will find displays and artifacts depicting life in Moore County, Texas throughout its history here. Guided tours are available. One of the best County Museums you will visit!
Cactus Playa Lake - A real treat for the nature tourism fan. A playa lake northeast of Dumas, just off Hwy 287 is under development where you can observe hundreds of species of birds in migration. The fertile grain fields and our playa lakes attract these birds to our area on their migration patterns.
The Carriage Company - Take a romantic, horse drawn carriage ride for up to six, or how about a horse drawn wagon hay ride for up to 20 people. This unique new attraction offers customized excursions in an elegant horse drawn carriage or a team drawn wagon that will accommodate up to 20 folks.
Contrasting spectacularly with its surroundings, Lake Meredith lies on the dry and windswept High Plains of the Texas Panhandle. Dramatic 200 foot canyons carved by the Canadian River surround this 10,000-acre reservoir. The lake was created to supply water for 11 Panhandle cities and to create recreational opportunities such as fishing, boating, waterskiing, sailing, sail-boarding, scuba diving, and swimming. The backcountry surrounding the lake provides areas for hunting, camping, horseback riding, wildlife viewing and hiking.
