We spent a few hours with Susanne, the president of the historical society. She was trying to catch up on the history of the Womack's so we had a lot to share.

We turned down Womack Road and found the Womack Ranch. We could see the old log cabin from the road- also a huge brahman bull among the cattle in the field.
