Just east of downtown on Sealy Street (US 80).

Monahan's first jail is here as is Holman House, a former stagecoach station and Monahan's former premier hotel. Now restored and refurbished with authentic period furnishings, Holman House sits to the right of the gate.

There's also antique oil field equipment, as well as the reservoir that seemed like a good idea at the time (1928).
