Quanah, Texas

History, Historic House

Most folks around the small town of Chillicothe know her simply as "Myna". With bright blue eyes accented by turquoise earrings, silver hair braided past her shoulders, and a gait slightly stiffened from a lower lumbar malfunction, this unassuming elder has almost single-handedly documented an entire era. "I'm on my way out", Myna recently stated to me, acknowledging her own mortality. Before she passes, though, she is poised to share it with the rest of Texas, if only we'll pay attention. In reality, she's been there all along, graciously accepting visitors from around the country.

While there are no billboards touting this local gem, it does still appear on most maps.
