Lavaca County Courthouse, Hallettsville

Located on the courthouse square in Hallettsville, the Lavaca County Courthouse might look familiar to movie lovers...and with good reason. This statuesque building was a "stand in" for the Fayette County Courthouse in La Grange during the filming of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.

Nina, Corpus Christi

One of three ships created to commemmorate the 500 year anniversary of Columbus' voyage to America, the Niña is located on the People's Street T-Head in Corpus Christi. Although it can't be boarded, you can view much of the historically accurate ship from the walkway--and marvel at the idea of crossing the ocean in such a small vessel.
