Slaton Town Square
The Slaton Town Square is itself a historic district, celebrated by the centennial gazebo, with many interesting businesses and buildings. The engineers of the Santa Fe Railroad built Slaton in spoke fashion around a city hall, and from each corner of this town square three streets go outward, except the southwest corner which has only two streets. Original paving stones make up the streets. Many of the buildings are also original.
There are historic businesses such as the Slaton Bakery, as well as the Slaton Museum, and Antique Mall, along with more modern businesses such as the 1809 restaurant. Of course, here too you will find the 1809 Train engine, the epic Slaton Mural as well as the historical Volunteer Fire Department building.
