Additional Details:
Built in 1893. This historic structure, built for only $13,500, is typical of frontier days in Texas. An old log cabin was the first courthouse, also used as the first public school. The bandstand and drinking fountain are built of native petrified rock. Embedded in a slab of rock in the bandstand is the footprint of one of the great 30-foot-long dinosaurs which roamed the Paluxy River Country 70,000,000 years ago
