Pioneer Cottage

Built in 1903, one year after the county was organized, by settlers Wiley Vincent and his wife Katie, this small early Texas cabin had two rooms. In 1907, a huge prairie fire missed it by only 600 yards. The cabin was bought in 1920 by E. S. Carr, Pampa mayor in 1917-1918 and 1938-1940. He gave it as a wedding present to his daughter Edna and her husband Clifford Vincent, a son of the builders. In 1963, the Cliff Vincents gave the cabin for use as a museum to the Pampa Genealogical and Historical Society. It has been furnished with period pieces and restored to its original appearance.
