XIT Museum

We are excited about this years Panhandle Gives and are thankful for our donors who have helped us complete much needed projects
over the years.

Our goal this year is to raise $25,00 for updating exhibit lighting in two of our exhibit rooms. This requires removing fluorescent lighting and add tracks for new LED spot/flood lighting, enhancing visitor experiences. The track lighting will give us the flexibility to move them as we see fit.

An interesting fact about the XIT Museum is that we were nominated by True West magazine as number 9 of the 10 top western museums of 2026. 

Remember, giving online is easy!!
