Welcome
A heritage satellite facility of the Museum at Texas Tech University, the Lubbock Lake Landmark is an archaeological and natural history preserve at the northern edge of Lubbock, Texas.
The Landmark contains evidence of almost 12,000 years of occupation by ancient peoples on the Southern High Plains. That long cultural record is matched by an equally rich natural history record. The Landmark welcomes visitors of all ages year-round.
In 2023, the Landmark marked 50 years of continuous field research and public programming. The interdisciplinary research program that began in the early 1970s continues today with professionals and volunteers working together in active research and public education.
The Landmark is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a National Historic Landmark and a State Archeological Landmark.
