                                          Snow on the Square
                                              Snow is not a usual occurrence in this part of
                                           Texas, but the Wharton Chamber of Commerce
                                           ensures that the Wharton County Courthouse
                                           will see the powdery white snow again this year.
                                              Snow on the Square is an event full of fun with
                                           snow, food trucks, vendors and a DJ. The big man
                                           in red, Santa Clause, himself will be making an
                                           appearance again this year, much to the delight
                                           of visitors.
                                              “We decided to have a second snow day
                                           because the first one was so successful,” Executive
                                           Director of the Wharton Chamber of Commerce
                                           Ron Sanders said. “We got to showcase our court-
house and the Christmas decorations to visitors from all over the county. Word of mouth
even brought visitors from outside of Wharton County to come see the snow as well.”
  This year’s event will include even more fun for the whole family, Sanders added.
  “We’ll build on this event,” Sanders said. “I think next year we’ll have more food and
more things to do. We learned a lot last year as this was the first event and we hope that
we can afford to bring even more snow than this past year to this year’s event.” The second
annual Snow on the Square will be on Friday, December 20, 2019.

History                 2019 Wharton Visitors and Newcomers Guide

                              Wharton Downtown Legends
                             Bonnie and Clyde
                                 In 1932, a sheriffs deputy stationed at the Colorado River bridge en-
                             countered the notorious bank robbers Bonnie and Clyde, who had been
                             spotted in Louise, south of Wharton, and were headed toward Wharton.
                             He fired several shots at their vehicle, but apparently missed.
                             Dickson Monument
                                 Sheriff Hamilton Dickson was shot and
                             killed in the line of duty while trying to capture
                             an escapee from the county jail. His funeral was
                             the largest ever held at the time in Wharton
County. The statute on the courthouse lawn was erected by his family. His
descendents recently had it restored.
                          Sniper’s Nest
                              In 1898 Hope Adams ran for sheriff of Wharton County. He ran on the
                           independent ticket against the candidate running on the White Man’s Union
                           party. In those days a candidate needed the approval of the White Man’s
                           Union in order to seek public office. After filing for office, Adams crossed
                           from the courthouse at the Milam and Fulton street intersection. A shot rang
                           out. Adams fell dead. Someone had fired the fatal shot from the original
                           courthouse clock tower. It is said that everyone knew who did it, but charges
                           were never filed.
                           Lucky Shot
   In 1917 City Marshal W.W. Pitman was given an arrest warrant
for F. Lopez. As the sheriff approached a Mexican restaurant at the
comer of Burleson and Fulton streets in downtown Wharton, Lopez
emerged from the restaurant. Both drew their pistols and fired at the
same time. The bullet from Pitman’s gun entered the cylinder of Lo-
pez’s gun. Lopez’s gun jammed and saved both Lopez’s and Pittman’s
lives. Pittman sent Lopez’s gun to Ripley’s Believe It or Not. He won
fourth place in Ripley’s annual contest. The gun remains in Ripley’s
possession and was last seen in their facility in downtown San Antonio.
                                 Ghost Story
                                    Wharton County wanted to honor its Confederate Army veterans,
                                 members of Buchel Camp. In their memory a monument was placed
                                 on the northwest corner of the county courthouse lawn. To this day, a
                                 circular patch can be seen around the monument. It appeared shortly
                                 after the dedication and remains there. Legend has it that ghosts of the
                                 Confederate soldiers march around the statue every night guarding it
                                 and creating a path that defies all explanation.

                                Pecans vs. Sycamores
   One of Wharton County’s greatest controversies was what trees should be planted around the
county courthouse. Sycamores were native timber and thus were originally chosen for four sides of
the county courthouse. However, in 1922, the county agricultural
extension agent planted pecan trees between the sycamores to prove
that pecans could be a viable cash crop for Wharton County. But
the courthouse square was not big enough for both of them. As the
pecan trees grew, it become clear that there was not room enough
both for the pecans and the sycamores. The problem was resolved
one night, after midnight, when an unknown woodsman came to the
courthouse square and cut down all the sycamores. The pecan trees
continue to flourish there to this day.
