Southfork Ranch

Southfork Ranch Welcome to the legendary Southfork Ranch, made famous by the Ewing Family in the TV series Dallas! The mansion was opened to the public for the first time.
(4001)

History at Southfork began in 1978, when Lorimar Productions chose the North Texas showplace as the site for the CBS-TV series "Dallas". The hit series, which counted millions of viewers across the United States and in 95 foreign countries as fans, was originally broadcast in the United States from 1978 to 1991. The series continues to be broadcast in syndication and still is in first-run status i

n many countries around the world. Because of the ranch's high profile on television, the beautiful white mansion, the pool, the barns and surroundings quickly became a tourist mecca. The original owner of the ranch and his family were actually in residence at Southfork as the filming began. When requests for private parties began to pour in, tents were erected and a small party pavilion was built to accommodate these types of events. However, tourism finally took its toll on the family, as it became increasingly hard to live privately in what had become Dallas' leading visitor attraction. In 1985, Southfork became strictly a tourist attraction and event location. A 63,000 square foot conference and event center was built to accommodate several thousand people for special events and functions. A rodeo arena, which was originally constructed for the filming of "Dallas" rodeos, began to host open competition rodeos as well as private "showdeos." In June of 1992, Mr. Rex Maughan, a successful Arizona businessman with extensive company operations in Texas, purchased the ranch. Since Mr. Maughan's purchase, business has continued to grow. Tourists are still attracted to the nostalgia of "Dallas" and Southfork's unique facilities have created an internationally respected conference and event center for meeting planners. Today, Southfork continues to welcome visitors from around the world, who come to see where "Dallas" was filmed and to experience the lifestyle made famous by the Ewings. Whether you are an individual traveler or part of a group tour, Southfork is open daily, 'year round for guided tours of the ranch. Tour the famed Ewing Mansion and re-live exciting moments from the series in the "Dallas Legends" exhibit, featuring an exciting array of memorabilia from the series.

28 years ago today, the world saw J.R. Ewing make his iconic return in Dallas: J.R. Returns! 📺 The unforgettable cliffhanger of the 1991 finale was finally resolved, as J.R. returned to fight for his family and regain control of Ewing Oil from his rival, Cliff Barnes.

It was hard to believe J.R. would actually return! His dramatic comeback left fans wondering—was it just a twist, or was he truly back for good? What was your reaction when he showed up at Southfork again? 👀

Today, we remember and celebrate the birthday of Barbara Bel Geddes, best known to us as the beloved Miss Ellie Ewing. ✨ Her strength, grace, and unforgettable presence made her the true heart of Dallas — a sentiment shared by her on-screen son, Larry Hagman, who called her “the rock of Dallas.” In 1980, Barbara’s portrayal earned her an Emmy for Lead Actress in a Drama Series, with two additional nominations during her time on the show. Join us in celebrating her lasting legacy here at Southfork. 🌹
