Hamilton, Texas

Any first-time trip to Hamilton, TX, needs to begin at the Hamilton County Courthouse. This impressive building has recently gone through a refurbishment and provides an interesting glimpse at the local history. The nearby Hamilton County Historical Museum, housed in the former County Jail, is also a fascinating place to spend your time while visiting Hamilton. No trip to this area would be complete without a visit to the gravesite of “Billy the Kid” and the Ann Whitney Memorial, Hamilton’s very own heroine who was killed while protecting the children she taught from a Comanche Indian attack.
