Zimmerman built this early Texas farmhouse, 1861, of hand-hewn cream colored rock from nearby hills; lumber from Bull Creek Mills. One of first residences on route of Shawnee Trail (used by traders, immigrants, indians, and famous as a cattle trail in 1850's and 1860's). Regina once shot a bear at back door.
