Today was our Opening Day to begin our touring season at Harrington House and our first tour were our honored guests from The Amarillo Area Foundation. We were happy to have the new AAF CEO and President, Keralee Clay and some her staff as our first tour of this season. In 1995, the Panhandle-Plains Historical Society conveyed Harrington House to the Amarillo Area Foundation. The AAF then created and conveyed Harrington House to the Harrington House Foundation. We are pleased to have that working relationship with the AAF.

🕰 Isn’t this clock amazing?

Built in the early 1800s by English clockmaker Joseph Jennings of Skinner Street, Clerkenwell, London, this beautiful 9-tube clock was originally made for the Landergrin family and later lovingly preserved by Don & Sybil Harrington.

Thanks to Bryan’s Clock Repair (serviced 2025), it’s still keeping perfect time more than two centuries later!

Come see this incredible piece of history for yourself.

Free tours available! Visit www.harringtonhousehistorichome.org to plan your visit.

Did you know Pat Landergin (the original owner of 1600 S. Polk, 1914) was President of the 4th annual Panhandle State Fair in 1916. At that time the Fair took place at Glenwood Park, an early amusement park east of Llano Cemetery. The fair closed from 1917 to 1921 due to World War 1. When the Amarillo Tri-State Fair opened again in 1923 it was chartered to serve as a permanent regional fair for Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma.
In 1927, Pat Landergin was President of the Panhandle Livestock Association. On this day 98 years ago, Pat set a meeting with the Panhandle Livestock Association and invited every cattleman in the Southwest to come to the Amarillo Tri State Fair on Monday September 12, 1927 for a meeting. Pat wanted the cattlemen and farmers to collaborate and to share their successes and ideas with one another. Pat would pass 2 years later in 1929. Pat Landergin will forever be remembered as a respected businessman, philanthropist and cattleman.
