ASSOCIATION
Every other summer, the members of the Texas Jack Association gather for what we call a Roundup.
The Next Roundup
Deadwood, South Dakota
2028
We've got unfinished business in Deadwood.
The last time the Association rode into town, in 2002, the Roundup was cut short by a real-life Wild West wildfire — the kind that empties a town. We were evacuated before we ever sat down to our banquet.
Deadwood still owes us a supper.
In 2028, we're riding back to collect.
Dates and registration are still down the trail.
Check back or sign up below to be the first to know when they arrive.
Looking Back: Richmond 2026
Our most recent Roundup took us to Richmond, Virginia — Texas Jack's home ground. We toured the Tredegar Iron Works and stood in Hollywood Cemetery at the Omohundro plot, where Jack's grand and great grand nephews, nieces, and cousins of every degree gathered around the graves of the family that came before them. We walked Colonial Williamsburg and traced the Omohundro line back to the 1600s. As we were seated for dinner on the third floor of the Tobacco Company, we looked up to find the wall beside our table holding a mirror covered in scenes from the life of Buffalo Bill — who would never have been Buffalo Bill at all without the friend we'd all come to honor. The restaurant had no way of knowing. We did.
Bring Your Family to Deadwood!
We don't have dates or pricing yet — but we'd love to save you a place in line. Leave your name and email, and we'll write to you the moment registration for Deadwood opens.
Better yet, bring your children and grandchildren. The people standing at that plot in Hollywood Cemetery were reminded of something that day: this history was always, in the end, theirs.
AND AFTER DEADWOOD
Leadville, Colorado
2030
In 2030 we'll gather in the Denver area and make the trip up to Leadville, Colorado — the town where Jack died in 1880 and is buried. We'll stand at the memorial stone Buffalo Bill paid for and placed in 1908, and mark 150 years since the death of America's first famous cowboy, and 50 years since the founding of the Texas Jack Association. It's the right place for us to stand.
Stay on the list, and we'll bring you along for that road too.
