Shackelford County, Texas
Cattle country. That’s Shackelford County in a nutshell. It’s in north-central Texas, where the Cross Timbers fade into the Rolling Plains.
Albany is the county seat. It’s home to the Old Jail Art Center. It’s a world-class museum in an unlikely place. The county is named after Dr. Jack Shackelford, a veteran of the Texas Revolution. Ranching is still king here. But oil has made its mark too.
The landscape is a mix of rocky hills and wide-open spaces. Fort Griffin State Historic Site is a window into frontier Texas. Hunting is popular in the fall. The people here are as tough as the land. They have to be.
