The Kenedy name is synonymous with Texas success: first in ranching, then in land development, railroads, and oil. Inside Mifflin Kenedy’s beautifully restored headquarters located in tiny Sarita – 20 miles south of Kingsville – the Kenedy Ranch Museum tells the story of Kenedy’s role in “taming” what was long considered an uninhabitable “wild horse desert” and making South Texas what it is today.
