Johnson County, Texas

The story

Early-day watering spot for explorers, Confederate Camp Henderson, settlers. People came many miles to wash, haul water, visit. At a nickel a bucket, boys "toted" water to merchants.

Brick-lined pool often was dipped dry, but spring always refilled it. First city well tapped source.

Hear thousands of these as you drive.
