Archer City is a popular place for book lovers. Booked Up and Three Dog Books are internationally known for their volumes of rare, fine, and scholarly books. Thanks to the restoration of The Royal Theater, which was made famous by the 1971 Oscar winning movie, The Last Picture Show, Archer City has become a center for performing arts. The theater features The Texasville Opry and numerous live stage productions throughout the year.
In addition to finding your own first edition at our antiquarian book stores, you can enjoy antiquing and shopping down Center Street, visit our restored Texas Courthouse, browse through the Archer County Museum, or take in a spectacular show at The Royal Theater.
We also invite you to play nine holes of golf at the Archer City Country Club or test your wits on our Miniature Golf Course. You can also relax under our covered pavillion at Burkett Park while your kids enjoy the Hilbers Playground, take a walk through the park on the Nature Trail, or head on over to the City Lake and try your luck fishing off of our new pier. If you would like to cool off on a hot summer day, take a dive in our municipal swimming pool.
