This is the epicenter of early Texas oil discovery.  Photos in the local museum capture the dirty, bleak looking view down old Main Street lined with derricks.  As we drive through town we spot many of the more than 184 wells that still operate within the city limits.  They still smell and are a bit of an eyesore but check out how they have “dressed them up”.  The see-saw kids and grasshopper are probably my favorite.  The boy eating watermelon is an ongoing tribute to their Spring festival, The Watermelon Thump.  They have a permanent, regulation, seed spitting gallery right downtown.
