IT’S A RIDE...

West Texas may sound like a geological two-worded description, but most know… it’s a culture of its own. A line cannot simply be drawn down the map of Texas to divide an east from the west, the line must flow through a path of rugged, unique, artistic, and beautiful environment and the side that ends up on the left… well, that is West Texas. There’s much to explore and this edition of Discover West Texas only touches on a part of what makes the West the wonderful cultural pleasantry it is today. Enjoy, but most importantly…

mack dab in the middle of the Big Bend region of Texas the small towns of Alpine, Fort Davis and Marfa are reminiscent of an era when

life was simpler and time moved a little slower. Put traffic jams in your rearview, breathe in the fresh air, grab a seat with an unobstructed view, and give vacation mode your

undivided

attention.

These

family-friendly

recom-

mendations are a few of the must-dos for your next visit.

Whatever family looks like to you, you’ll find a place to unwind, unplug, and reconnect in one of these timeless West Texas towns. See y’all out there.

FORT DAVIS, TX Population 1,067

MARFA, TX Population 1,750

The Museum of the Big Bend leads you on a journey through the past and present of the Big Bend region – and it’s entering a new era today! Be among the first to see its just-opened expansion.

Behind the Museum, Hancock Hill rises above the Sul Ross State University campus with a network of rough trails that give you and the family a desert wilderness experience just minutes from the parking lot. Determined hikers can seek out “The Desk”, a quirky tradition full of local history.

Wassermann Wranch isn’t a zoo. It’s an extended family of kangaroos, alpacas, donkeys, and a camel. The Wassermanns became their accidental stewards, one at a time, and have gradually developed a mission to welcome visitors in a way that equally honors the animals and their guests.

When you arrive in Alpine, stop in at the Visitor Center for a menu of activities to explore for kids of all ages, including a tour of downtown murals and historic buildings. Find more information at visitalpinetx.com.

The Chihuahuan Desert Research Institute spans over five miles of trails through the Davis Mountain foothills. Explore the botanical garden’s collection of cacti and native plants stretching from northern Mexico to southern Colorado, including a 250+ year-old Madrone tree.

The Nature Conservancy’s Davis Mountains Preserve towers nearly 8,500 feet and is open select weekends throughout the year, or find access to mountain wilderness year-round at the Madera Canyon Trail with its sky-island Ponderosa and Pinyon forests gazing at Mt. Livermore.

Kick off the dust and recap stories of your trip at the award-winning Chateau Wright Winery and stay at a historic hotel in the village center. Don’t forget to find an event for you and your family at fortdavis.com/events.

Come by the Fort Davis Visitor Center for information on family-fun activities or rent a bicycle and discover the mile-high village on your own. Learn more about what is on offer at fortdavis.com.

The Marfa Mystery Lights have been observed above this grassland plateau for over 175 years, yet no geologist, meteorologist or ranch hand has found an explanation.

Form your own hypothesis at the Marfa Lights Viewing Area, open free of charge 24/7/365.

Marfa Maid Dairy makes small batch goat cheeses found in local grocery stores and markets. Reserve a spot on one of their dairy tours to learn the process, hug a goat, and sample some of their delicious products.

Donald Judd brought big ideas to Marfa with largescale, site-specific artworks. His outdoor sculpture, 15 untitled works in concrete, at Chinati Foundation is a great way to start a conversation about scale, light and shadow, and how art interacts with the world around it. Sorry pet parents, no dogs allowed.

Stop by the Visitor Center, sited in the historic USO Hall, for maps, business hours, and to hear about Marfa’s rich history from a local. Plan ahead at visitmarfa.com.

BRONTE Bronte, Texas, on U.S. Highway 277 at its junction with State Highway 158 in east central Coke County, was founded in the late 1880’s and named for the English novelist Charlotte Bronte. J.B. McCutchen drove a herd of cattle into the area from Santa Anna in 1889, and other settlers followed, including Dr. W. F. Key, who started the town. Lumber was hauled from Ballinger and stonemasons used rock from quarries south of town to build the town’s early buildings. Both Oso and Bronco were chosen the town’s original names, but the post office rejected Bronco to avoid confusion with another town. It is unknown why Oso was rejected, and eventually the name “Bronte” was chosen. Bronte had a post office by 1890, and built a community building which was occupied by a church on Sundays, and school during the week. The town’s population was 213 in 1900.

The Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railway was completed through the area in 1907, and around this time Bronte was moved a mile to be near the track so it could become a shipping point on the railroad. The first train, however, reportedly did not run until 1909. In 1910 the town had a population of 635 and a number of businesses, including two cotton gins, a bank, a mercantile, and a newspaper. After torrential overnight rains in August of 1953, the Kickapoo Creek system which surrounds Bronte flooded, causing millions of dollars in property damage to homes and businesses. With federal support, the Kickapoo Water Control and Improvement District was founded to build flood control dams throughout the Kickapoo mountains to prevent future floods. Bronte’s population was reported as 999 in 1960, some 925 in 1970, 983 in 1980, and 962 in 1990. The population grew to 1,076 in 2000, but dipped to 999 again in 2020. Local tourist attractions include Fort Chadbourne and Bronte’s community park, which provides swimming, golfing, and fishing from Lake Knierim. Recreation areas in the vicinity include the beautiful Oak Creek Lake.

Bronte Depot Built by local stonemason James C. Lammers (1874 - 1972), this depot was

15 | DiscoverWestTexas.com

completed in 1911, two years after the first train arrived in Bronte. Built of locally quarried materials, the depot features stone lintels and window skills and a red tile roof.

Originally owned by the Kansas City, Mexico, & Orient Railways, the Bronte Depot was sold in 1928 to Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway Company, which discontinued operations here in 1967. The Depot now belongs to the city of Bronte.

The Texas Theatre Built and operated in the late 1940’s by the Wojtek brothers, who also had the Alamo Theatre in Robert Lee, TX. Both theatres were in continuous operation from the 1940’s until the late-1970’s, and remains an icon for the Texas Historical Film Commission.

Historical Markers Butterfield of Overland Stage Route · Route of the Southern Overland Mail Line (Intersection US 277 and SH 70) One mile southeast to Fort Chadbourne, a station on the Butterfield Mail and Stage Line, which linked St. Louis and San Francisco. 18581861 the Fort was estabilshed in 1852, occupied until its surrender to State Forces in 1861, and garrisoned at times after the Civil War.

and mules and 90 Concord Coaches and wagons. Stage traveled at a run, despite lack of good roads, a signal given approaching a station would have fresh horses ready and food on the table for crew and passengers.

Route had stations 12 to 113 miles apart and was sometimes changed to get water. Crew and passengers wore guns to reduce danger of Indian attacks. Mules (less coveted than horses) were used. West of Ft. Belknap, the trip on way took 25 days -seven spent crossing Texas, from Preston (now under Lake Texoma) to Jacksboro, Ft. Belknap, Ft. Chadbourne and El Paso. One way fare for the 2700 miles was $200. Passengers rarely stopped off because they might not find seats on a later stage. Merchants in Jacksboro and other towns used Butterfield’s light freight service to make mail-order sales.

ge was its carrying news. Coaches also brought mail from the west 1 to 10 days faster than it came by ship. Service was ended in 1861 by the Civil War. Fort Chadbourne, C.S.A. (Marker Location: 100 block of South Washington, Bronte) Located 8 miles north on Old Butterfield stageline. Upon secession, company of First Regiment Texas mounted rifles occupied this post to give protection against Indians. Stopover on way west for many union sympathizers and people wanting to avoid conflict of war. Permanent personnel left the fort in 1862 when the frontier defense line was pulled back more than 50 miles east. However scouting parties and patrols of confederate and state troops used the Fort intermittently in agggressive warfare to keep Indians near their camps and away from settlements and to check on the invasion by union forces. Usually supplying their own mounts, guns and sustenance, these men guarded the frontier until the war’s end.

Indian Rock Shelters (Bronte Intersection of Texas SH 70 and

US 277, about 8 miles N of Bronte) Throughout this area during the last several centuries, Rock ledges gave protection to Lipan, Kickapoo, Comanche, and Kiowa Indians. In one typical shelter archeologists found evidence of 3 periods of occupation, plus numerous intricate petroglyphs (rock carvings). River shells, turkey and deer bones, flint knives, scrapers, and points lay about the area. One of several hearths (2’ x 3’ in size) consisted of small pieces of sandstone lining a natural rock trough. On the highest level was found green bottle glass from nearby Fort Chadbourne (1852-1867).

Churches First Baptist Church of Bronte (Marker Location: 424 South Was-

hington Street, Bronte) Organized by visiting minister W.G. Green and a congregation of three on June 19, 1887, the Baptist church in Bronte originally met in homes. However, in 1890 a brush arbor was built along the banks of the Kickapoo Creek and the Rev. R.M. Cumbie was called as the first pastor. Services were later held in the community school in the winter and the brush arbor in summer.

A Sunday school was organized in 1901 and the first church building was dedicated in 1907. A new building was completed in 1951. From its beginning, this church has been involved in missionary and community activities.

First Methodist Church of Bronte (Marker Location: 324 South Washington Street, Bronte) Marker Text: This congregation traces its history to the summer of 1890, when a small group of worshipers led by the Rev. J.W. Montgomery gathered under a brush arbor on east Kickapoo Creek to organize a church. Later that year the Rev. G.F. Fair became the pastor of the church, which met in an old school house. A sanctuary was built in 1907 and served the congregaton until it was replaced by a new structure in 1951. Throughout its history this congregation, which became First United Methodist church in 1968, has been involved in missionary activities.

Here you will find infor-

mation on what to do, where to stay, and where to eat if you are visiting the Junction area. If you are a local, you will find information on local Junction, Texas events and happenings. So come on in, and stay a while.

Junction the county seat of Kimble County, is on US Highway 83 ninety-eight miles southeast of San Angelo. It is named for its location at the confluence of the North and South Llano rivers. Junction was founded in the spring of 1876 following the organization of the county in January of that year. It was originally named Denman after its surveyor, but became Junction City in 1877 and simply Junction in 1894. Junction City won the role of county seat from Kimbleville, an unsuccessful settlement, in late 1876, after the first county court session, probably because Kimbleville was subject floods.

By 1879, Junction city had a drugstore, a livery stable, a sawmill, and more than one general store. Theo post office, begun in 1876, was moved in 1879 from a private residence to the town square. Kimble County’s first newspaper, the West Texas, was published in Junction in 1882. In 1884, the county courthouse, erected in 1878, burned with all the county records. Its replacement, a two-story stone building, was partially destroyed by fire in 1888, but it was repaired and used until the present courthouse was built in 1929.

Businessman Ernest Holecamp provided the city’s first waterworks with a canal dug from the South Llano to Junction in 1895. In 1896 a dam was built on the South Llano to provide power and water to the city and irrigation to surrounding lands. Four Mile Dam, a more permanent and extensive dam and irrigation system, was completed in 1904. Junction had a population of 536 in 1900, 8090 in 1910, and 1250 in 1920.

Between 1910 and 1920 the automobile came to town. The first filling stations opened around 1916 or 1917. By the early 1920s the livery stable had closed, and Junction had graveled its streets and installed electric street lights.

By the Mid 1920s good highway connection s with San Angelo and Menard were available. Junction had Baptist, Christian,

WELCOME TO JUNCTION & KIMBLE COUNTY, TEXAS Episcopal, and Methodist Episcopal churches by 1881, when the latter was organized by Methodist circuit rider Andrew Jackson Potter. A Catholic church and a Church of Christ had come to Junction by 1933. By 1930 the town had incorporated, and the United States census of that year l8isted it population as 1,415. Junction was the chief shipping and commercial center of Kimble County, as well as a tourist resort and hunting center. In the mid-1940s the cedar-oil business developed and enhanced the economy, but the city’s growth slowed. The population was 1,464 in 1950 and 2,593 in 1980.

Junction continues to be the shipping and marketing center for Kimble County’s livestock, wool, mohair, pecan, and grain production. It is also the hunting center for one of the state’s leading deer-hunting counties. The town’s other economic foundations include pecan processing, tourism, and a cedar-oil plant. Texas Tech University Center, a branch of Texas Tech University, is located in Junction. Thee center can accommodate 250 students and offers both graduate and undergraduate courses. Public school students are transported by bus from around the county to the Junction school, which has consolidated the rural schools of Kimble County. The Kimble County Library is also housed in Junction, as are a hospital and nursing home. Major celebrations in Junction include the Billie Sale and Parade in August and the Kimble Kow Kick in September. In 1990 the propu8lation was 2,654. That figure fell slightly to 2,638 in 2005.

OZONA

Crockett County has a unique history to share. It was named in 1875 to commemorate the illustrious David Crockett of Alamo fame. He was killed in battle March 5, 1836, 5 months short of 50 years after his birth in Tennessee. He never trod the soil nor beheld its beauty, but he is forever linked to the county that proudly bears his name.

Crockett County is the eighth largest of 254 counties in Texas and covers over 3,000 square miles of ruggedly beautiful west Texas. The one and only town within its boundaries is Ozona, which is known as “The Biggest Little Town in the World,” with about 3,500 persons calling it “home”. The town is un-incorporated and, although being rather isolated from other towns, is quite independent. Ranching and oil/gas businesses keep the economy steady and school activities keep everyone involved.

Crockett County is proud of its heritage, and the Museum on the square shelters the artifacts and shares the stories of its inhabitants from 10,000 B.C. to present day. To the traveler, a stop at the Museum promises a new appreciation for this area of West Texas, as the stories are told about how E.M. Powell acquired a lot of acreage around present-day Ozona. He had surveyed a lot of West Texas and the State paid him in land. He came out to see what was his and found a tree--just a live-oak tree--and Ozona grew up around this tree which still stands. There’s a lot more to this story and the Museum invites everyone to come in and hear all of it--and more. Visit 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
