Boys Ranch, TX
Today, Tascosa is synonymous with Cal Farley’s Boys Ranch located 25 miles north of Vega on US Highway 385. Cal Farley, an Amarillo businessman, started Boys Ranch in 1939 to help troubled boys who needed a "second chance for success." Local rancher Julian Bivins helped Mr. Farley realize his dream by donating 120 acres of land and the Old Tascosa courthouse, now the Julian Bivins Museum. Today, Boys Ranch is a modern campus and Christ-centered community where more than 250 boys and girls live and are educated in a nurturing, structured environment. Visitors are welcome at Boys Ranch. Join the children for a meal and tour Boot Hill Cemetery, the Julian Bivins Museum and the Boys Ranch community. Learn more about Boys Ranch at: http://www.calfarley.org/.
