The X in Texas is in the center. The center of Texas is just north of Brady. Let's check it out.
Our first stop is the heart of Texas, the city of Brady. The most important and interesting building in any county is the courthouse. This one proves to be no exception.
We have a few minutes to kill, just let's go check out the furniture store across the street.
Nice.
North on US 377 about 20 miles will take you to the Heart of Texas Park.
This is the ceremonial Geographic Center of Texas. The actual center is about 5 miles away, but who's counting?
The park has picnic tables like any roadside park, but also includes this tower.
Now, I'm not really sure why there is an observation tower here, but I guess it seemed appropriate for the center of Texas. So let's check it out!
The view from the top.
The graffiti on the tower.
This one is interesting. He scraped the paint off so it rusted and stands out quite well.
Robert W wrote his name on every step.
Jordan wrote his name in gum. Impressive!
That's it. The center of Texas, under the X, smack dab in the heart of Texas, thank you Ma'am.
