Frontier spirit lives on in this small Texas town where the Lela Latch Lloyd Museum displays cowboy artifacts that tell tales of bygone days. Red Gap Brewing Company pours local craft beers in a beautifully restored 1920s building that's worth visiting even if you don't drink. Conrad N. Hilton Memorial Park offers a peaceful spot to contemplate how a small-town boy built a hotel empire. History buffs shouldn't miss the Eastland County Jailhouse Museum nearby, where cell doors still creak with stories. Ringling Lake Park provides a welcome respite from the Texas heat. The town's modest size belies its rich heritage - arrive with curiosity and the locals will share stories that won't make any guidebook.
