Welcome to this early 1900's historical log cabin that was once owned by Judge Calvin R. Starnes (1885-1956). “Starnes was an influential character in Texas politics in the 30’s and 40’s. He was an LBJ mentor and involved in the push for funding for Mansfield Dam along with Lyndon Johnson and US Senator JJ Mansfield...
