Tarleton State University’s W.K. Gordon Museum and Research Center in Thurber is hosting a watch party for an episode of the PBS series “The Daytripper” featuring the recently opened Palo Pinto Mountains State Park.
The free event, set for 10 a.m. Saturday, May 23, highlights the nearby park, North Texas’ first new state park in a quarter century.
A decade in the making, the park opened in March.
The rugged, rolling terrain of the Palo Pinto Mountains offers opportunities for outdoor activities including hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, fishing and kayaking.
“The Daytripper” is a Texas travel program hosted by Chet Garner.
The show is a 19-time Lone Star Emmy Award winner that highlights the culture, outdoors and food of a single destination in each episode.
The W.K. Gordon Center is located at 65258 Interstate 20, Exit 367, in Mingus and is open 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Tuesdays-Saturdays and 1-4 p.m. Sundays.
The combined museum and special collections library is located at the site of the Thurber ghost town.
