The Ghost of Gonzales Folklore and Historical Photographs

Leon Natardez authored "The Ghost of Gonzales," a compilation of local folklore and stories regarding haunted houses within Gonzales County. Historical archives also reveal that the original 1895 jail building featured a different roof design until a storm in the early 1920s necessitated its replacement with a flat roof. These records and photographs are currently maintained by the Chamber of Commerce.
