Texas legend Judge Roy Bean is buried at Whitehead Memorial Museum, an idiosyncratic and endlessly fascinating place. Check out the room devoted to border radio (legendary '50s DJ Wolfman Jack got his start here in the late 1940s) and a nativity-scene collection of 1287 items amassed by the late Beatriz Cadena. The grounds are a lovely place for a picnic.
