Panhandle-Plains Historical Society Museum

for everyone

We drove home (from California to Kansas) for Christmas. This only seems like a bad idea if you don't consider that plan B was flying into Denver. Anyway, when storm #2 showed up we headed south to try and get around the worst of it . . . and got as far as Amarillo Texas before they shut down all the roads ahead. So, we visited this museum in Canyon, just south of Amarillo.

Was the Apple II a historical exhibit?

The Apple II was at the right end of an exhibit on the Native Americans of the Texas Panhandle. On the left end were archaic spear points. So, maybe the idea was something along the lines of "those were the tools they used then, these are the tools they use now?" But I'm making that up in retrospect to try and rationalize what I observed. In reality it seemed very thrown in and out of place.

Have you ever, and I mean even once, tried to kill a buffalo with an Apple II?

I think maybe it was misplaced, and was supposed to be in with the clay pots and baskets and other ancient household items. That'd make more sense.
