Great photos Bob!

The Visitors’ Center moved to a renovated 1880 historic building called “Casino Hall.” The Fayette County Old Jail is now the home of the Texas Heroes Museum. We honor Texans from the time of the Texas Revolution to the present. This includes veterans of all conflicts, the sheriffs that served in the Old Jail, Texas Rangers, modern law enforcement, first responders, firefighters, the “Home Front” in WWII, Austin’s “Old 300″… people who made personal sacrifices to secure freedom and liberty and make Texas the great place it is today. The museum offers free tours, and it is open Fridays and Saturdays from 10 to 4 and Sundays from 1 to 4 except some holidays. Pick up a free visitors guide at our museum or download it from The Fayette County Record’s website. You can easily plan to spend a whole week in Fayette County.

Hi Ted,thanks for stopping by. The jail is a pretty interesting place to visit and the surrounding area has a lot of history. Sometimes those small towns a few miles from the interstate highways hold a lot of history.

I never knew about the white bean / black bean thing. So often we go to places and only scratch the surface of their history, yet underneath are some amazing facts about the location and it’s people.

The jail had some interesting things inside. They are in the process of moving the visitors bureau to a new location, in a renovated building, and will be turning the jail into more of a museum.
