The one "sight" in the former cattle town of CANYON , fifteen miles south of Amarillo on I-27, is a must. The Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum (daily 9am-6pm, Sun 1-6pm; $4; ) has exhibits on restored pioneer buildings, the history of Texas ranching, natural history displays, a collection of Western art, and even the oldest known assembly line automobile (a 1903 Model A Ford). Even the history of the oil and gas industry is made interesting. For food , try the Chuckwagon Restaurant (tel 806/488-2152) just off the park road on the Canyon floor; it's impossible to miss.
