Fort Griffin wasn’t just rough it was a place where even the law stayed back. Built on buffalo money and chaos, it rose fast and disappeared just as quickly. Most people have never heard of it but its story explains why some towns never had a chance to last. #TexasHistory #WildWest #ForgottenTowns #AmericanHistory #OldWest

Our resident potbelly pig, Cletus, has returned after an extended absence. He’s quite the survivor in an area where hog hunting by ground and air is quite common. Evidently our neighbors like him too, as he is quite tame and still with us. | Fort Griffin State Historic Site
