Ep. 14 - The circa 1886 Olde Park Hotel and 1925 Runnels County Jail


Listen Later

In the late 19th century the railroad brought life to the town of Ballinger, TX.  Today, one of those structures built back then, remains.  The structure, the circa 1886 Olde Park Hotel, sustains the cowboy mystique.  While many who resided here under its different names have come and gone over the past 130-plus years, some, as many as 30, can still be seen and heard.  Only they are no longer among the living.
