My sister-in-law, Marie, and I went to Gonzales to shop and just look around for a day. We visited the 1887 Gonzales Jail. It was in use until 1975. It was NOT airconditioned when we toured so it was quite hot in our 100 degree temps. We are entering a room for women and lunatics! Interesting combination.

Oh my! The gallows are a pretty haunting sight. Imagine those who suffered that fate! Very interesting tour though. You're right women and lunitics is an interesting combo. I guess there were no insane men back then :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day! Hugs, Loretta
Looks like a fun town to visit! How awful to have been a prisioner there - especially in the summer.
ReplyDeleteAlright, I am definitely going to Gonzales now because I want to have my photo taken beside the cell for women and lunatics. What a hoot! I might even use that as a Christmas card photo. That would surprise everybody.
