Are the myths of Texas all true? Maybe not—but that’s not the point. In Texas, legends inspire us to live bigger, bolder, and braver.

At his ranch in Bee Cave, sixth-generation Texan Terry Boothe has declared his land the official West Pole—a title even recognized by the Texas Legislature. Every year, he hosts celebrations filled with Texas relics, tall tales, and even his own twist on Groundhog Day: Armadillo Day.

From heirlooms to history, satire to storytelling, the West Pole is part museum, part shrine, and 100% Texan. Join us as we explore the myths, the meaning, and the magic of one of the most unusual places in the Lone Star State.
