Welcome to

By Clarendon Mayor Larry Hicks

I

t gives me a great deal of pleasure as mayor to extend a warm greeting to you. Whether you are a new resident of our community or a short time visitor, we hope you will agree that Clarendon is a special place with warm caring people and much to offer to those who come to our little city.

We have a lot to be proud of in Clarendon, and we are excited to share it all with you. There are many family activities throughout the year, including the annual Lions Club Roar ‘N Run 5K in April, the Mulkey Block Party on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, fun activities during Kids’ College thorughout the summer at Clarendon College, and our traditional Saints’ Roost Celebration the first weekend in July.

To learn about our community, I encourage you to stop by our Clarendon Visitor Center at 110 S. Kearney Street at the Mulkey Theatre.

There you’ll find the office of the Chamber of Commerce and the Clarendon Economic Development Corporation and people who can help answer any question you have about our town. The Mulkey itself is also a source of pride and interest. The 1946 theatre is undergoing a revitalization that will turn it into a conference center and live performance hall in addition to a movie house. Stop by

4

the Mulkey at night to see its beautiful display of neon and LED lighting.

In addition to an excellent public school system, we are very proud of Clarendon College, which was rated the number two community college in the State of Texas for student success in 2015.

The Saints’ Roost Museum is an excellent place to spend some time learning about our history. The museum is open daily Tuesday through Saturday.

Of course, Greenbelt Lake, located just north of Clarendon, is also something we’re quite proud of. Greenbelt offers fishing, camping, and other recreational activities. And we’re excited to have a new disc golf course in the works there as well.

Donley County: Home of the ‘Jewel of the Plains’

By Donley County Judge John Howard, MD

O

n behalf of the elected officials and employees of Donley County, let me extend a warm welcome to our community.

Donley County is proud to be home to one of the finest county courthouses in the state. Called “The Jewel of the Plains,” it was built in 1890 and restored in 2003.

Celebrating its 125th anniversary last year, the Donley County Courthouse is home to the Judge, County Attorney, County Treasurer, and Adult Probation Officer and is venue for the 100th District Judge. It also is the site for the meetings of the County Commissioners.

Feel free to drop by and tour this historic facility as visitors are welcome in the oldest functioning courthouse in the Panhandle. The courthouse grounds are the site of the county’s annual Saints’ Roost Celebration in July and you will want to come by for the Christmas lighting ceremony as well on Saturday, November 26, 2016.

County government in Texas is directed by the Commissioners Court, comprised

The 1890 Donley County Courthouse is recorded in the National Register of Historic Places and was fully restored at a cost of $4.6 million in 2003. The building is open to the public during regular business hours year round.

of four Commissioners, elected from each of the four precincts, and the county Judge, elected at large. Generally, Texas counties provide the essential things that make our communities livable: roads and bridges, law enforcement and corrections, a court system to protect our legal rights, secure storage of our important public records and protection against threats to public health and safety.

Texans to live productive lives in harmony with each other.

As provider of public safety, the Sheriff’s Office is responsible for making Donley County one of the safest communities in the area, if not the entire state. And we are proud to be able to provide 24-hour on-duty officers, a rarity for a community of our size.

Emergency Medical Services are provided by the Associated Ambulance Authority, and we have, without a doubt, the finest emergency personnel in the region. Care is coordinated with tertiary care facilities in Amarillo and helicopter medevac is available when required.

The Volunteer Fire Departments of Clarendon, Howardwick, and Hedley are on call to protect life and property against a variety of threats, including fire, and the Clarendon department has an Emergency Dive Team ready to respond locally and to provide assistance area wide.

Emergency Preparedness is coordinated through all our efforts, and we stand by, ready to assist.

Pioneer Spirit the Story of Saints’ Roost In the spring of 1878, a charismatic preacher led a group of Northern Methodists to the wild frontier of the Texas Panhandle. They settled at the junction of Carroll Creek and the Salt Fork of the Red River. It was there, in what would become Donley County, that Rev. L.H. Carhart set out to establish a Christian colony built on the values of temperance and education, and he named the town Clarendon in honor of his wife, Clara.

As the third settlement in the Panhandle territory, Clarendon stood apart from the wilder communities of Mobeetie and Tascosa, which were more known for saloons and rowdy cowboys. The colony strictly forbade alcohol, built a church as one of its

Street scene in Old Clarendon.

ENTERPRISE ARCHIVE PHOTO

first landmarks, and set plans in place for an academy to bring education to the plains.

The neighbors said Clarendon was where the saints roosted, and soon the nickname stuck… Saints’ Roost.

Nine years later, the future of the colony came

into question when it became apparent that the Ft. Worth & Denver Railroad would miss the town. A vote was taken, and by the fall of 1887 houses, businesses, and people were all making the move six miles south to the present site of “new” Clarendon.

The railroad brought people and commerce; but it also brought new lifestyles with saloons and other “vices.”

And yet, the town did not lose sight of its original ambitions, becoming the home of the Panhandle’s first Methodist, Catholic, Episcopal, and African-American congregations and establishing the area’s first college in 1898.

Donley County eventually re-established prohibition in 1902, and Saints’ Roost again banished alcohol sales until 2013 when voters reversed the 111-year-old tradition.

Today, if you like, you can raise a glass in old Saints’ Roost, but there’s no escaping the town’s original character. With a variety of churches and faith-based services and one of the highest-rated community colleges in the state, Clarendon remains true to its principles and welcomes visitors and newcomers to stay all night… or stay a little longer.

Saving our heritage... the Mulkey

A Clarendon landmark is getting closer to a glorious rebirth as local efforts continue to rehabilitate the Mulkey Theatre.

The streamline modern style movie house opened its doors in February 1946 as America began to shake off the dark days of World War II. An earlier theatre on the same site had burned nearly a year before, but Mrs. Lema Mulkey and her business manager, Lee Bell, were dedicated to rebuilding and naming the new structure for Mrs. Mulkey’s late husband, Homer.

For the next 40 years, the Mulkey would brighten Kearney Street and provide entertainment for generations of Donley County residents. But eventually, the theatre closed and fell into disrepair as so many small town venues did during the 1980s.

The theatre’s future seemed bleak until 2008 when local civic leaders stepped in and began the effort to “Bring Back the Mulkey.”

A 2011 designation by Preservation Texas, listing the Mulkey as one of the state’s most endangered historical

Theatre

sites, gave a boost to fundraising and awareness.

Today, thanks to the support of a combination of public and private funds, the Mulkey again shines brightly.

And with its exterior magnificently restored, work continues to rehabiliate the interior.

The Clarendon Visitor Center in the former Mulkey barbershop houses the offices of the Clarendon EDC and the Clarendon Chamber of Commerce. When completed, the Mulkey will also serve as a conference center and performance hall as well as a movie house and will be available for seminars, plays, concerts, class reunions, birthdays, anniversaries, and more.

Grant applications are being written to help fund the estimated $500,000 needed for a modern projection and sound system, theatre seating, and heating and cooling systems as well as stage lights and other equipment.

Tax-deductible donations for the Mulkey Project can be made to the Clarendon Community Fund, PO Box 826, Clarendon, TX 79226, or call 806-874-2259 for more information.
