A unique art gallery painted on monoliths of local limestone. East Gate
Park celebrates the history and icons of Terrel County. From the time
pre-dating Native American culture to the time of cowboys and
railroads, the artwork of East Gate Park, located on Highway 90 near
the eastern entrance to Sanderson, Texas, is a marvelous exposition
of our history and a must-see to add to your local travel itinerary.

The people of Sanderson have always served their country well. When
duty called the citizens of Terrell County answered, some offering the
ultimate sacrifice. We have honored the patriotism of our men and
women and especially those who gave their lives, in a group of
memorials located on the Courthouse square. Gazing down over the
largest memorial is the ancient iron eagle that was once part of the
original Courthouse facade. Come and visit and share our pride.
