This exhibit marks the 130th anniversary of the JA Ranch and includes the history from the arrival of Charles Goodnight in 1876 to the present.  The introduction briefly discusses Palo Duro Canyon before the establishment of the ranch.  A section is devoted to Charles Goodnight and his wife Mary Ann Dyer Goodnight and their importance in the establishment and early history of the ranch and their "saving" the bison.  John and Cornelia Wadsworth Ritchie Adair are spotlighted, as is Mrs. Ritchie's grandson Montgomery H. Wadsworth Ritchie who operated the JA during much of the 20th century. Paloduro is one word, as it was in the contract between Goodnight and Adair.
