Did a small photo essay on this bit of forgotten piece of Texas history some 5 years ago, well worth the visit.

My family were the ones who sold that piece of land to the Texas government the Pena family from my great grandfather and grandfather who sold it to Texas in 1951 and the only reason Texas wanted that spot was because there was already a road leading to that spot from Dias Ordas you can see my great grandmother's store right at the stop sign next to that white house
