Arthur, anticipating the arrival of the Panhandle and Santa Fe Railway, established
a combination store and post office at the site. Arthur named his townsite Lipscomb,
after pioneer judge Abner Smith Lipscomb...." See Handbook of Texas Online:

The Lipscomb School House at one time housed the Wolf
Creek Heritage Museum, but the Museum has a new building located on Hwy 305. -

I
believe that Lipscomb, Texas now has a dance area. People such as Frankie McWhorter
(who is in the Western Swing Hall of Fame) and others perform there. John Erickson
of "Hank the Cowdog" fame often appears in Lipscomb. - Ray Trosper, September
