Marathon, Texas Galleries
If you blink while driving along U.S. Highway 90, you could miss the town of Marathon completely. With a population of just over 400, it's a blip of civilization in an otherwise vacant basin of Brewster County. But don't be fooled by its size. This former railroad shipping town contains some serious artistic talent and world class lodging and dining.
Evans Gallery features James H. Evans' striking photographs of the Big Bend landscape and some of its more curious inhabitants. Just yards away is artist and author E. Dan Klepper's gallery of photos and images that capture the windswept landscape and vibrant regional culture.
The Gage Hotel was voted the best small hotel in Texas by Texas Highways Magazine and was voted #5 in the Top 15 Hotels in Texas from Conde Nast Traveler magazine. The Gage now includes the beautifully renovated, historic Captain Shepherd's House, built in 1899 and the V6 Coffee Shop. Eve's Garden Bed and Breakfast is a colorful and charming compound of local art and unique architecture that encompasses an entire town block.
Marathon is just 36 miles north of Big Bend National Park. It is the perfect place to relax and rejuvenate on your way to or from the Park. Don't miss it!
