2021 Lone Star Land Steward: Chimney Creek Ranch

Chimney Creek Ranch
2021 Rolling Plains Region Lone Star Land Steward
Chimney Creek Ranch in Shackelford County is a historic ranching operation that has been in the same family since the 1920s. The ranch, which recently celebrated its 100th anniversary, puts income from hunting and livestock sales back into ranch improvements, focusing on conserving quality Rolling Plains habitat. The ranch’s owners work to restore, protect and share the historic and cultural resources of the property and area with the public. Chimney Creek Ranch has worked to rebuild Smith’s Station on the Butterfield Trail and Bud Matthews Switch, a Texas Central Railroad shipping point. Artifacts found on the property are used for education and outreach with the local community. The ranch’s owners have also created Endowed Scholarships at Texas A&M University and Tarleton State University in Wildlife Science and Horticulture.
