HISTORIC DOAN'S ADOBE HOUSE Built in 1881, this historic adobe building is the oldest in Wilbarger County. It was built as a residence for Mr. and Mrs. Corwin Doan and their family at Doan’s Crossing on the Red River. Doan’s Crossing, established in 1876 by Jonathan Doan, served as a trading post where the Western Trail of the famous Longhorn Chisholm Trail crossed the river going north to cattle markets in Kansas. Trail drivers called Doan’s Crossing "the jumping off place" because it was their last chance to buy supplies before crossing into Indian territory. The post office opened in the Doan’s Store in 1879, so this was also their last chance to receive mail. One hundred thousand cattle passed over the trail by the little store in 1879. In 1881 the trail reached the peak when three hundred and one thousand were driven to the Kansas shipping point. The Western Trail was used from 1876 to 1895 and six million cattle and one million horses crossed the Red River at Doan’s Crossing.
