National Ranching Heritage Center

Formally dedicated in 1976, the National Ranching Heritage Center (NRHC) serves as both a tribute to the resilience of those who shaped the ranching legacy and an educational destination that fosters a deep appreciation for this integral aspect of American history. With all but five of its 55 historic structures between 100 and 200 years old, the historical park speaks volumes about the frontier settlers who lived in those structures and created legends and history in the process.

Osher Lifelong Learning Institute

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at Texas Tech University offers enriching educational experiences designed to foster connection, cultivate community, and celebrate the joy of lifelong learning. OLLU at TTU serves members across Texas with locations in Abilene, Fredericksburg, Highland Lakes, and Lubbock.
