Medallion Home in Kermit
Photographer: J. Griffis Smith

Medallion Home

The city's oldest existing structure was first built about five miles south of town on the four-section claim of W.H. Seastrunk in 1907. Lumber was brought in to Pecos and freighted to Kermit from Monahans. In 1910, Seastrunk dismantled his house and moved it into town. Seastrunk sold the property, and the house remained in the W.E. Baird family until 1967 when it was presented to the city. It is furnished with period pieces. Open 9 a.m.–4 p.m. weekdays and 3–5 p.m. Sun. In Pioneer Park on the north side of Winkler County Park.
