During one of my rambles across the South Plains of Texas (what some might call the southern…read morePanhandle), I stopped in Silverton, Texas, which is on the way from Tulia to Quitaque. Silverton is a small town of some 500 yet remains the county seat of Briscoe Country, which straddles the flat, 3000 foot high Caprock and Tule and Palo Duro Canyons to the east. I turned into the town square area around the courthouse to photograph that fine looking three storey building and to walk my dog (it was also a green and shady square). In the NE corner of the square is the Old Jail Museum, which is kept open 7 days a week by a man who is from the town (you can see his picture in "Silverton" section of the Texas Plains Trail brochure put out by the Texas Historical Commission, www.thc.state.tx.us). It is tiny but made from well dressed local stone. The barred windows look well maintained and secure! You can just walk in and see the single downstairs room filled with local memorabilia and photographs of the region. I poked my head in and looked around, and then started back to my Minnie Winnie. Then a car drove up and the curator got out and called to me in a friendly way. He offered to me a Texas Plains Trail brochure from his car and invited me to sign the guest register in the jail. He is very proud of this museum and puts a lot of work and attention into it as he single handedly keeps it open to visitors. Upstairs is the actual jail, bars, locks, and all. It is a fine, peaceful spot. Across the street is a small café where one can get iced tea and hamburgers done the real Texas way--with lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise, and half-wrapped in crisp white paper. I enjoyed my stay in this spot on the map and plan to bring my graduate students here on our next camping trip.

But this is like a dry lakebed that is also an archaeological site and they have a neat little museum. It has fossils, indian artifacts, and displays about the past history of the area. The museum is geared more towards middle school aged children, had some neat exhibits of things they found in the landmark, wasn't all that big. There are some large bronze statues of ice age animals outside the museum that are cool. And it's free to get in too. There is a handicapped-accessible trail behind the museum that is like a slightly raised boardwalk that I assume would showcase digs, but there weren't any going on. I went in early January though and they said Spring and Summer are the best times for digs. The long trail is not handicapped-accesible, it is gravel and quite long and meandering. It went by a prairie dog burrow, but I didn't see any. Possibly because some other people aead of us were hiking with several dogs. Dogs are not allowed there according to the parking lot sign. There are some picnic areas near the museum that are nice, and I spotted about 10 different bird species including 3 different types of raptors and some coyote tracks. It would probably be nicer to go here in the spring because I saw remains of many different flowering plants and it would be a more attractive walk then.
