Exhibit from hit TV show '1883' now on display at National Ranching Heritage Center

Visitors to the National Ranching Heritage Center can experience the world of "1883", the hit Paramount+ series prequel to the hit show "Yellowstone".

The new exhibit, 1883: A Ranching Origin Story, is open in the Don and Kay Cash Gallery.

In partnership with 101 Studios, the exhibit includes costumes, props and photography from the hit western series. Highlights include an authentic wagon, a camp setup, hand-beaded Native American props, behind-the-scenes photography, and apparel worn by the series' stars Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Sam Elliott and LaMonica Garrett.

“Taylor Sheridan’s '1883' production helps tell the very real story of early settlers moving West hoping to make a better life while struggling to conquer and endure terribly harsh environments,” said Scott White, Helen DeVitt Jones endowed director of collections, exhibits and research. “These struggles turned the Western frontier into the dynamic region it is today, and portraying these struggles gives us a more accurate idea of what it took to cross the frontier, settle and survive. The history of ranching is part of those stories.”

The television series "1883" follows the Dutton family’s move west across the U.S. in the late 19th century. The series debut reportedly set a premiere record of 4.9 million households.

“Interest in shows depicting early ranch life is evident from the vast success of '1883',” White said. “It provides a platform to continue telling those stories and preserving the ranching history across North America.”

In addition to the exhibit, visitors can gain a better understanding of how real people lived across the Great Plains during the era depicted in "1883" through eight different structures dated 1870 to 1888 in the outdoor historic park.

The NRHC is a 27-acre museum and historical park that offers educational programs and exhibits about ranching history and contemporary ranching issues. The center is located at 3121 Fourth St. in Lubbock and is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
