The Hutchinson County Historical Museum, is a museum in Borger, Texas, with more than sixty exhibits spanning the period from the 16th-century expedition of Francisco Vásquez de Coronado to the Texas Panhandle petroleum boom of the 1920s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title="Hutchinson County Historical Museum" -- Oil Boom )〕 The museum, which opened in 1977, is housed in a two-story building constructed in 1927.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title="Hutchinson County Historical Museum" -- Main page )〕 Borger was established in 1926 after the discovery of the Panhandle oil field. A boomtown of tents and shacks quickly appeared, and the population reached some 40,000. In time, orderly growth prevailed, and Borger became a center for oil, chemicals, and cattle. The skyline is dominated by oil towers and petroleum plants. Borger is the home of Frank Phillips College.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Borger )〕 Exhibits encompass history, culture, and art items. Annual events include African American History in February, Oil Boom Heritage in March, Cinco de Mayo Heritage in May, the Beach Bash and Old West Heritage in June, the Quilt Show in July, Native American Awareness in November, and Christmas in December.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title="Hutchinson County Historical Museum" -- Programs page ) 〕 Old West Heritage Month features community treks to sites near the county seat of Stinnett: the First Battle of Adobe Walls in 1864 and the Second Battle of Adobe Walls in 1874, in which Quanah Parker surrendered Comanche resistance to white settlement.

The museum observes the birthday of Stinnett each September.〔"Boomtown Revisited", brochure of Hutchinson County Historical Museum, Borger, Texas〕 In 1980, the Hutchinson County Historical Commission published ''The History of Hutchinson County'', used as a reference for the article on the history of Borger in ''The Handbook of Texas''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Borger, Texas )〕 The museum directs visitors to the historical markers available in Borger and throughout Hutchinson County.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fort Tours: Hutchinson County Historical Markers )〕 The current museum director, Clay Renick, is an employee of the Hutchinson County Commissioners Court.
