An interpretive sign nearby reads as follows:
“REYNOLDS-GENTRY BARN
1877
This traditional barn with L-shaped shed from Throckmorton County, Texas, was converted to a stable for thoroughbred race horses. Each of the 6 stalls has a window, and saddles were hung from large knobs in the tack room. Under the hayloft is carriage room accessed through double Dutch doors.
HANK SMITH SALT TROUGH
c. 1915
This trough was used on Hank Smith’s historic Cross B Ranch in Crosby County, Texas. Located in Blanco Canyon on the Mackenzie Trail, this was the first ranch on the South Plains of Texas. The salt trough originally came from Fort Griffin, Texas."
