The tiny one cell Jail, a quirky roadside attraction, one of the many oddball sights you stumble across as you get your kicks on 66. The former Jail, & former Museum, with a totally out of place stone slab engraved with the Class of 39, which lies abandoned, like most of the Town.
I have added extra photos in the gallery, showing some of the Ghost Town buildings, so you get a feel for the area, alongside the Mother Road.
Route 66 is just not gonna to die, when you have Towns with a sense of humour & soul, like Texola.
Perhaps a chance to put your other half, behind bars for a photo opportunity.
"Texola – Ghosttown - The last town on the Route 66 in Oklahoma, on the border to Texas. This small town has 30 residents at most. A part of the place is completely abandoned. In the 1910s 300 people lived in Texola, formerly called Texokla, then Texoma and today finally Texola.
A tiny building, the former Jail, standing all alone in a nearly abandoned ghost town. Propped in front is an out-of-place memorial to the high school Class of 1939." Text Sources: (
