Marker text: Boyhood home of L. S. "Sul" Ross (1838-1898), Texas Governor from 1887 to 1891.
His father Shapley P. Ross, Indian agent and Ranger, built house after moving
here about 1841; he chose this site because it had a good spring. L. S. Ross,

after holding office as governor. In 1890 this pavilion was erected to
accommodate band concerts, meetings and rallies. It was the scene in 1892 of a
