Yelp ReviewIn typical Texas tradition, lore, style and fact, many men met their fate here. Within walking distance, and a final meal away from the 1887 Jail House (which still exists as a museum), cowboys and outlaws went to meet God or whatever maker they believed in, at the end of a rope around their neck, strung up on this very tree.
