This is in Llano, Texas. I work on the nearby Baby Head Ranch. I think it was in the 1800’s that an Indian tribe raided a fellow tribe and killed everyone. They then proceded to place a baby’s head on a spear and plant it on the top of the tallest hill/mountain on the ranch to proclaim their victory. It’s a very beutifal ranch, I never thought I’d see pictures of my workplace on Failblog.

This is a real graveyard. Its an old pioneer graveyard. I beleive it was so named because the first to be buried there was an infant.

My family has land out there and I can verify that’s a true story.

Indians were pissed that white people moved in, so they stole their baby, cut off it’s head, and stuck it on a stick on the top of the big hill in that area.

It’s in Baby Head, TX

Yeah, I’ve been there. My Granddad told me some kind of story about a baby head put on a stick by “Injuns.” Pretty sure it was entirely false, but it made a good tale.

So……I’m thinking they feed the rest of the babies to the high concentration of feral cats in the area. Thats what I do with my baby leftovers.

Yes, that is in Texas. The town of Baby Head is about 10-15 miles north of Llano, TX. Look it up on Googlemaps if you do not believe.

Tourism win? Not really. It is such a little town that is out in the middle of nowhere.

Ok, but I promise it’s in Texas, cause I live here and I’ve driven by the sign. I never would’ve dreamed that we had scenery that looks Alberta or the UK, though.

That’s in Texas, I’m pretty sure it’s in the hill country between San Saba and Junction. I don’t remember where it is exactly but I know I’ve seen it in person

HOW IS THIS NOT A WIN?!

It’s a sign to a freakin baby head cemetary!!! Tourism win, surely? Or public amenities win?

I wanna go, where is it? Looks like UK by the sign and scenery?

“Baby Head Cemetary?” Sounds like something out of a Cormac McCarthy novel (read Blood Meridian or The Road if you don’t know what I’m talking about).

I work on Baby Head Ranch, where the head was actually placed (I’m hunting guide). The Indians murdered an entire rival tribe and placed the head on a spear on top of the tallest hill/mountain in the area as a warning to other tribes. The top of the hill/mountain is covered in strange rock formations that resemble the area around Stonehenge. We guess that the place was a ritualistic site to the Indians.

Yes. The Baby’s head served as a warning to other tribes. The hill/mountain they placed the spear with the head on is covered in strange rock formations. It looks like the area around Stonehenge. I guess it was some ritualistic site to the Indians.

The part about the baby being killed by indians sounds suspiciously like: commit a hanus crime (e.g. sexual molestation and murder) and blame it on the most convenient scapegoat.

I could imagine a child being slain as part of a group, by a group of hellions who had developed a general hatred toward their class. But an isolated child seems unlikely. A band of indians wouldn’t go so far out of their way for a single arbitrary target.

Nonetheless, lie or not, it apparently is how the name Babyhead began. (Curious though that the sign reads Baby Head, when the official marker reads Babyhead. Yer basic bureaucratic f’up, i guess.)

There once was a monster named Fred,
who refused to eat baby head,
so the noggins he’d bury
in the old cemetery,
and the bodies he would eat with brown bread.

I grew up near here in Llano, Texas. The story is that there was an Indian squaw who was pushed off a cliff by a spurned lover. And that squaw’s name was Baby Head.
