In Frio County, Agriculture Flourishes
Published Apr 14, 2008

Agriculture is pretty big in Frio County. Why else would there be a statue devoted to the watermelon in the town of Dilley, and a sculpture of the World’s Largest Peanut in the county seat of Pearsall? Plus Pearsall is home to an annual Potato Fest.

There are also plenty of cattle in Frio County, but there is also a lot of oil and natural gas production. And the community also hosts an annual Pioneer Days to celebrate the way life in Texas used to be, in rougher and tougher times.

One of the highlights of Pioneer Days is a tour of the Old Frio County Jail, which is now a museum devoted to those rougher days. The old jail was unusual because prisoners were locked up in the jail upstairs, and the county sheriff had living quarters downstairs.
