Snyder, Texas
Snyder may be best known for J. Wright Mooar, a legendary buffalo hunter whose descendants still live in the area.
|
The three pillars of Snyder's economy are oil, cattle and cotton. |
Mooar's most famous kill was an albino buffalo ten miles northwest of Snyder in 1876. |
This statue stands downtown with a nearby plaque honoring Mooar. |
This beautifully restored Sinclair gas station is now a flavored ice counter. |
The restored Ritz Theatre stands on the courthouse square. |
The Travelers Inn is in disrepair, but the sign still stands. |
This Phillips station looks like it was frozen in time, complete with older-style pumps and a full service island beneath the flying vee canopy. |
The Beacon Lodge has been "restored to the splendor of the 50's." |
The Beacon's six buildings are situated in a circle with a park in the middle. |
Is this heaven? Close. It's Trailertopia! |
