Boot Hill Cemetery
Plains Trail Region
The colorful history of Old Tascosa (Now the site of Cal Farley's Boys Ranch) includes legends of Billy the Kid, Pat Garrett, Bat Masterson and Frenchy McCormick. The first known “cowboy strike” ended in gunfire, with some of the participants buried at Boot Hill Cemetery, so named because many of the men died with their boots on. Located on a hill overlooking Boys Ranch, the famous cemetery is open to visitors.
