The weekend trip with my son was one of those rare adventures where everything felt new and exciting. Our goal was to photograph hidden gems across Texas, capturing places we had only read about in passing. One of the highlights of our itinerary was the Outlaw Gas Station near Glen Rose, Texas. I had stumbled upon its story while researching our route, and I knew immediately that this would be one of the most intriguing stops of our journey.



Nestled along a quiet country road, the Outlaw Gas Station was a relic of a bygone era. Built in the 1920s, its unique architecture of red bricks and local petrified wood made it stand out against the rolling green landscape. It wasn’t just the design that made it famous, though. During Prohibition, the gas station doubled as a speakeasy, a hidden hub for those seeking forbidden spirits. Rumor had it that bootleggers would stop by under the cover of night to conduct their business, and the gas station became a local legend. After Prohibition, it operated as a regular gas station before being abandoned in the mid-20th century, leaving only its stone skeleton as a reminder of its colorful past.



When my son and I arrived, the sun was beginning to set, casting a golden glow over the landscape. The springtime air was crisp, carrying the faint scent of blooming wildflowers mixed with fresh earth. As we approached the ruins, I noticed a patch of Texas bluebonnets blooming near the station, their vibrant hues of blue and purple perfectly complementing the warm tones of the stonework. It was as if nature had decided to frame the structure in its own masterpiece.



The station itself was eerily quiet, a silent witness to decades of history. The road beside it stretched endlessly into the horizon, flanked by fields of green and the occasional splash of wildflowers. I couldn’t help but imagine the scene nearly a century ago—vehicles pulling up for gas, clandestine deals being made under the cover of darkness, and the murmur of Prohibition-era secrets shared within its walls.



Setting up my tripod, I framed the shot to capture not just the station but the road leading off into the distance. The sky was painted in soft pastel colors as the sun dipped lower, giving the scene a serene, almost timeless quality. My son, curious as ever, asked about the station’s history as I adjusted the camera settings. It was a wonderful moment to share the story of its rebellious past and reflect on how much Texas history was hidden in plain sight.



As I snapped the photo, I felt a deep connection to the place. The image on my camera perfectly captured the character of the Outlaw Gas Station—its rugged beauty, its place in history, and the quiet resilience of the Texas countryside. It was more than just a photograph; it was a piece of living history, preserved in pixels.



Driving away, I glanced in the rearview mirror for one last look. The station grew smaller as we moved on, but the memory of it—and the story it told—would stay with me. This trip wasn’t just about photography; it was about uncovering the soul of Texas, one hidden gem at a time. The Outlaw Gas Station, with its blend of history, nature, and mystery, was a perfect chapter in our journey.
