Geographic Center of Texas
Make sure to visit the Heart of Texas Park and climb the little tower for a beautiful view of Texas. But don't make the mistake of thinking this is where the historical marker is, like we did. It's separate from the park.

The Texas Highway Department placed this marker on Hwy. 377 between Brady and Brownwood. The cracked marker explains that the actual geographic center of Texas is five miles from this spot on private property. About 500 yards south of the marker is a rest stop.
