Preserving the Land's Story
Big Bend Stories
Terlingua and Big Bend carry a history that deserves to be told straight - the mining days, the ghost town years, the border, the river, and the people who never left.
Terlingua's Ghost Town Roots
Once a mercury mining town, Terlingua's near-abandonment and slow revival shaped the independent spirit that still defines it today.
The Rio Grande & the Border
The river that names the borderlands - a line of water and history running through every Southern Border story.
Big Bend National Park
One of the most remote and least-visited national parks in the country, and the desert backdrop for everything TSB creates.
The People Who Stay
Terlingua's community has always been built by people who chose the desert on purpose - their stories are the heart of this page.
