The legacy of Buddy Holly lives on in his birthplace of Lubbock, where a museum, a walk of fame and an annual music festival honor musicians hailing from the area. Its museums shed light on the agricultural and military history of the region. Lubbock's many parks, golf courses and wineries provide a relaxing break from it all. Add to all of this a hopping nightlife and Lubbock truly is the "Hub City" of activity in the South Plains area.

Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. except 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Visitors should plan to visit the 19-acre historic park early enough to complete their outdoor tour by 4 p.m. The indoor galleries close at 5 p.m. It takes 45 to 90 minutes to see the 53 ranch structures in the historic park and walk the 1.5 mile pathway. The outdoor park is both wheelchair and stroller accessible. Admission is free.
Covers several acres plus the indoor museum. Old west stagecoach was a real show piece. Old homesteads and bunkhouses from all over Texas were brought in and rebuilt to period specs. Amazing how people lived in the 1700-1800’s. If you’re in Lubbock it is a must see.

I have always been a huge fan of Buddy Holly so when my wife and I had the opportunity to visit Texas this was No/1 on my bucket list. The venue is faily small but intimate enough to allow you to browse peacefully among the many artifacts on show. From focusing on his early childhood and progressing through his life as a Son, Brother, Band mate, Husband and iconic musical artist. Buddy's famouse Fender Stratocaster electric guitar and his Gibson acoustic guitar are there with photos showing him practising backstage at the Electric Park ballroom in Waterloo Iowa. Part of the guided tour includes the small house next door to the centre which is owned by Buddy Holly's drummer (Jerry Allinson) his actual drum kit is on display and Jerry still visits the house to this day. For music lovers and those of us who were around during Buddy's short life on this earth, this is a MUST VENUE TO VISIT. I Highly recommend it as there is so much more to see which I sadly havn't room for on this occasion.

A very nice selection of Texas art and many full scale replicas of the dinosaurs and ancient animals that roamed this area of Texas millions of years ago. Nice gift shop too.

McPherson Cellars is a contemporary winery, tasting room, and event venue in Lubbock, Texas. We work with fruit entirely from the Texas High Plains AVA, available for purchase in our tasting room, online, throughout Texas and many other states. Our downtown tasting room allows guests to taste an array of wines, ranging from Albarino to Sangiovese and several blends in between. We believe that Texas wines can be world class, and aim to offer a relaxed and convivial space to share our wine and philosophy with our friends and community. Open Monday through Saturday for tasting flights, wines by the glass or bottle, and complimentary tours.
During a short stay in Lubbock, my wife and I visited the McPherson Cellars Winery for a wine tasting. Tasted 6 different varieties and all were very good. Returned the next day with two of our adult daughters and tasted 4 additional wines. Once again very pleased. Very friendly staff at their facility on Texas Street in Lubbock. If ever in the Lubbock again, we will pay them another visit.

Get there early so you can catch one of the best traditions in sports when the Masked Rider sprints across the field to bring the players on to the field.
