What to See:
Heritage Center
If history is your interest then the Muleshoe's Heritage Center located off US 84 on the northwest part of Muleshoe will offer a pleasant stop for visitors. The Heritage Center just celebrated its 20 birthday. Visitors experience all the traditions of the Panhandle-High Plains of Texas at the Old Muleshoe Depot. You can also peer into Jane's Ranch House and take a close look at the Old Muleshoe Ranch cook house. There is a one-room log cabin to remind younger generations of the hardships our founders endured while settling this part of the west. The old hotel, and other items of interest, as well as the world's largest Muleshoe make for history lesson that will stay with your memories for life.

Muleshoe, the oldest national wildlife refuge in Texas, is one of a chain of refuges in the central flyway. Located on the high plains of west Texas, Muleshoe was established as a wintering area for migratory waterfowl and sandhill cranes. When sufficient water is present, the refuge hosts large numbers of sandhill cranes and a variety of waterfowl.
Short-grass rangeland with scattered mesquite extends over most of the refuge's 5,809 acres. Muleshoe has three sink-type lakes that have no outlets, depend entirely on runoff for water, and are periodically dry. When the lakes are full, 600 acres of water are available for wildlife.
How to Get There
From Muleshoe, take Highway 214 south 20 miles. Go west on Caliche Road for 2.25 miles to refuge headquarters. From Morton, take Highway 214 north 18 miles. Go west on Caliche Road 2.25 miles.
Sports Academy
Home of National & World Gymnasts
Sports Academy opened its doors in 2001 and has since placed Muleshoe, Texas on the national map when it involves gymnastics training and competition. Gymnastics teaches strength, quickness, flexibility, self-discipline, importance of focus, boosts self-esteem, as well as prepares the athlete physically to decrease chance of injury.
“With a city as willing as Muleshoe is to support our program in the manner in which they do, it is no wonder we have been able to produce some of the top area athletes. Just a couple of years ago we were able to send two of our young ladies to the Olympic trials to compete. Since our opening over 2000 kids have enjoyed our programs and we currently have over 200 enrolled.” stated Will Green, Owner and Operator of Sports Academy.
“We are here because the citizens, the local Chamber and the EDC let us know they wanted us here. I thank each of them and look forward to serving this community for many generations.” added Mr. Green.
The programs of Sports Academy enhance tremendously the preparation young athletes have for the more traditional school related sports. The programs serve as a valued asset to our youth, our community and our region.
Visit the first-class facilities of Sports Academy at 2309 W. American Boulevard.
Tour de Muleshoe
TheTour de Muleshoe rolls along scenic farmland and sandhills for you to ride either fast or slow as you choose. This is not a race -- enjoy yourself.
All three rides follow a triangle course. The 10 mile is flat with good shoulders, one rest stop at half way; the 40 mile begins with small rolling hills for the first 10 miles, followed by 12 miles of scenic sandhills, ending in 18 miles of small, smooth ups and downs; the 100k follows similar road conditions for a longer distances and all end back in Muleshoe at the starting point.
Tour de Muleshoe is held annually in June. (Check back for the 2007 dates)

The Tour de Muleshoe is sponsored by the Heritage Foundation (806) 272-5873.
