This Christmas, Mr. Grinch has decided to leave his secluded perch high above Whoville and pay Texas a visit. He’ll be hiding out in the Old Anderson County Jail in Palestine, offering visitors an exclusive look into what all encompasses stealing an entire holiday. Will his heart be two sizes too small or bursting at the seams? You’ll just have to find out.
Built in 1931, this foreboding building served as the Anderson County jail for over 50 years.
