Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near Texas

While in Texas, you might enjoy a visit to:

Waco, Texas: The Bear Pit

Home of the Baylor Bears, the mascots of Baylor University. The latest enclosure/habitat is not really a pit, and the bears seem to be well-tended.
~37 miles from Gatesville.

Waco, Texas: Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum

Displays Bonnie and Clyde's shotguns and Clyde's pocket watch, among many prizes captured in the line of duty by the Texas Rangers. Opened in 1964.
~37 miles from Gatesville.

Whitney, Texas: Battle of the Benches

Plain cedar benches became the center of controversy in 1949 when the ladies of Whitney, offended by bench-loads of cussing, spitting, whittling men, demanded that they be moved to an alley. Refurbished benches are outside the museum, which exhibits the Life magazine story on the ultimate victor.
~43 miles from Gatesville.
