Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near Texas

While in Texas, you might enjoy a visit to:

Canyon, Texas: Tex Randall, Big Texan

A slim looming cowboy giant, standing here since 1959. Deteriorating, but preservationists may yet save him!

Granbury, Texas: Outlaw Relocation Program

Where America's most notorious outlaws came to die -- when they didn't really die the first time.

Terlingua, Texas: Clay Henry - Famous Beer-Drinking Dead Goat

Clay Henry, who died in 1992, has been stuffed and mounted in the act of doing what he did best: chugging a Lone Star beer.

Shamrock, Texas: Blarney Stone

The magical Stone -- sort of an ugly cylinder painted green -- is the cultural heart of the town of Shamrock.

Houston, Texas: The Orange Show

Jeff McKissack, Houston postal worker, spent his Golden Years building a large, gaudy, strange folk art tribute to what he considered "the perfect food."

Seguin, Texas: World's Second Largest Pecan

Nutty claim to fame made real by a statue on the courthouse lawn. It once was the world's largest.

Austin, Texas: Cathedral of Junk

Vince Hannemann's backyard folk art environment was built out of cast-offs because he thought it was fun.

San Antonio, Texas: Buckhorn Saloon and Museum

Treasure-filled freak show -- "Five Museums in One" it boasts -- acquiring stuffed animals, horn and antler art, and weird wonders since the 1880s. Enjoy a beer while you admire a cathedral made of 50,000 matchsticks or an 8-legged, 3-eared lamb.
