Terlingua and the area we serve
Terlingua is a desert ghost town come partly back to life, scattered across the rocky Big Bend country of far West Texas between Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park, near the Rio Grande and the Mexican border. A century ago it was a booming quicksilver town, its Chisos Mining Company among the nation's top producers of mercury, until the mines gave out and the company went bankrupt in the 1940s, emptying the town.
What remains is the Terlingua Ghost Town, a cluster of stone ruins, a cemetery whose oldest graves date to 1903, and a handful of restored buildings that now make up the town's social and commercial heart. The Starlight Theatre, a restaurant in a once-roofless old theater, and the adjoining Terlingua Trading Company share a long front porch that fills at sunset, and the 1906 Perry mansion, built by the mining company's founder, is now a hotel. A few miles east, the crossroads at Study Butte holds the gas and supplies, and river outfitters run rafting trips on the Rio Grande.
Terlingua lives entirely on Big Bend, and its rhythm is the reverse of most towns: the cool months from about November through April are the busy season, and the fierce desert summers are quiet. Its one great blowout is the famous Terlingua chili cookoffs each November. For the restaurants, lodgings, shops, and outfitters of an off-grid desert town, dependable card processing matters. We set up payments around how a Big Bend ghost town actually works.
