The walk start is the Gatesville Public Library. |
Two "Statues of Liberty" and two "Statues of Justice" as well as an Eagle decorate the courthouse. These are all listed in the Smithsonian Inventory of Art Sculptures. |
We crossed Main street and entered the courthouse to view the dome. |
In the courthouse rotunda is a sculpture of James Coryell, Texas Ranger for whom the county was named. |
The walk continues on to Raby Park with a nice creek running through it. |
We walked through the park and reached the main entrance. |
We walked through a residential district. |
We entered the City Cemetery. |
We did a circle through the cemetery and back out the same entrance. |
Nice old Rock home. |
We walked past the First Baptist Church built in 1936. |
The walk passes the WPA built Post Office also built in 1936. |
If you've got time you might want to go inside and view the WPA artwork completed in 1939. |
After going back past the courthouse you continue to the Coryell County Museum. This spinning wheel is on display. |
View of the Museum building on Main Street. |
