National Register of Historic Places — Montague County

One of the most significant archaeological sites in North Texas. The site preserves remains of a fortified Taovaya (Wichita) town occupied during the 1750s — a major trading center aligned with French interests, defended by wooden stockades and a moat, and repulsed a Spanish military assault under Col. Diego Ortiz Parrilla in 1759. The property is privately owned and in agricultural use; address is restricted due to archaeological sensitivity.

A utilitarian railroad depot constructed in the early 1900s to serve the Fort Worth and Denver Railway, which reached Bowie in 1882 and catalyzed the town's founding. Significant for its association with rail transportation infrastructure and as a surviving example of early-20th-century railroad vernacular architecture. The depot was destroyed by an arsonist in January 1974 and delisted from the NRHP on November 17, 1975.

The county's defining civic landmark, designed by Waco architect George Burnett and completed in May 1913 at a cost of $100,000 following destruction of its predecessor in a 1912 storm. The three-story Classical Revival building features a raised basement, column porticos on north and south facades, pilasters, and dentil cornices. Period of significance 1913–1967. The complex includes the 1927 Old Jail constructed by the Southern Prison Company of San Antonio (Recorded Texas Historic Landmark, 1991), which served as the county jail until 1980.
