The historic MKT Depot is located at 501 S. Rogers St. Waxahachie, TX 75165. Restoration was completed in 2010. Prior to that the depot was a stop on the Missouri-Kansas-Texas (MKT) rail line until 1964, primarily hauling cotton to local markets. Boyce Feed Store is located across the street from the depot. The feed store sells what you would expect (animal feed), but also has very cute shabby chic home decor and country ready clothing.

Post is a small town about 45 minutes away from Lubbock, TX. This was often a stopping point on the way out of town. These pictures were taken on a Sunday afternoon, which explains why it looks so desolate.

The center covers a lot of ground; over twenty acres. You can take a mini journey thorough the ranching history of the area by touring restored structures (homes, barns, schoolhouses, etc.). The tour begins with a dirt floor structure, and ends with a modern day structure. It is a walk through time. Some structures are even open for exploration.

I’m a fan of detours on road trips, however, this detour was short lived. I felt uneasy immediately upon entering the town. I’m sure this is due to watching too many “The Hills Have Eyes” movies. Fluvanna is about an hour and a half away from Lubbock, TX. It seems this area was deserted around the 1940’s, after railways were taken over by highways. As far as I can tell, it is still a ghost town.
