WELCOME
The world is heading for change.
It's the year 1880, and things have never moved faster. For the bulk of it's existence Sweetwater has been immune to the change that has struck the north and descended onto Dallas. Nestled deep back into the Texas Hill Country on the banks of Sweetwater river, the valley keeps things slow and the bulk of industrialization at bay hiding off a little peace of heaven from what would be the grinding gears of process. Ask anyone in the area and they'll tell ya. There ain't no place like Sweetwater and there ain't no prettier land in Texas.

Join us here in Sweetwater where the booze never stops, and the change keeps rolling. Join as a canon or an original if they more suits your fancy. When things head west- you can always be certain- there's going to be hell to pay.

&& Saloon
One of the most popular spots in Sweetwater, the saloon is the perfect place to come if you're a bit thirsty or perhaps seeking a bit of company. There's nightly entertainment from the local piano man or one of their singing barmaids. Things can get a bit rowdy at times, though, so it's best to keep on your toes.

&& Sheriff's Office & Jail
While it might be a bit unorthodox -- perhaps even somewhat scandalous -- for a town to have a female Sheriff, no one can deny that Grace Britton does her job, and does it well. You can normally find her here at all hours, seeing as she lives in an apartment above the jail. The jail itself is sturdy and well-kept, not that it's a place you'd like to find yourself, at any rate.

&& General Store & Post Office
Almost all of your needed supplies can be found here, and if can't find what you're looking for, chances are the owners can order it for you. During the spring planting season they have all the seeds you could need, and in the winter they stock enough supplies to keep the town going through the winter frost. The Post Office is also located here.

&& Clinic
Sweetwater is a good four hour's ride from the nearest full hospital, but it's clinic is well enough equipped to deal with almost all but the most life-threatening injuries & illnesses. The doctor is on-call 24 hours a day for consultations regarding everything from a child's cough to a gunshot wound...not that we have many of those here in Sweetwater.

&& Hotel [First with the Most]
A large, ancient, hand painted sign hangs above the swinging double doors proclaiming the establishment's name: "First With The Most" in large letters; and below that: "Rooms and Likker." Most folks just call it "the First." A smaller sign hangs next to the door with a less friendly message: "No Injuns, No Mexicuns and No Yankees." This place has been here a long time, as has its proprietor, Sarge Chalmers. Come on in for some home made Red Eye or to swap a yarn. Stay the night, too, the rooms are small but clean.

&& Boarding House
The boarding house is fairly quiet and well-kept, located on the edge of the town square close to the river. The residents who live here generally look out for each other. though of course there's always bound to be a sour apple or two in the bunch. The manager of the boarding house is uncommonly fair and caring as well.

&& Rail Station
The Railroad Depot is located at the far end of town, and is mainly used to bring in supplies as well as the town's mail. Occasionally there will be a visitor or two that come to see the Falls, or engage in some various business dealings, most likely up at the Buckley Ranch, but these are few and far between.

&& Church
This small one-room building is normally packed come Sunday morning, so if you want a good seat you'd better get here early. Afterwards it's not uncommon for residents to gather on the lawn for a bit of socializing. The church also functions as a school during the weekdays.

&& Cemetary
Located directly behind the Church, Sweetwater's local cemetery is peaceful and well-maintained. The graves date back all the way to the town's founding, with more recent graves being placed near the front. There are a few trees planted around the outer perimeter, and overall the cemetery is a quiet place for friends and family of the deceased to go and grieve, and remember.

The large brick home next to the Town Hall has traditionally been the Mayor's residence, dating back several generations. Currently William Reynolds resides here in quiet, understated luxury. The furnishings are elegant and tasteful, and the house features a special guest wing for visiting VIP's.

&& Brothel
Prostitution is a booming business in this era, and even Sweetwater is not free from this vice. The brothel operates on the very edge of town. The women who work here typically live in the house and receive a small salary, as well as free room & board. Many of the townspeople frown upon the business, and so visits are normally conducted in secret.

&& Sweetwater River & Falls
If you're looking for breathtaking beauty, there's no better place to go than the river. Water flows gently over the riverbed all year round, the Falls giving the river's flow an extra boost of speed further downstream. The crossing bridge is located just above the falls. Make no mistake, though; while the river is beautiful, it can also be deadly, especially when it rains heavily and the river is swollen with rain runoff.

&& Sweetwater Valley
Luscious green landscape surrounds the town of Sweetwater, with rolling hills as far as the eye can see. The river cuts almost right down the center of the valley, with the town on one side and the Buckley Ranch on the other. Wide open spaces, fresh air...what else could you need? Come out here to get away for a bit, maybe go for a ride...just get lost.

&& Buckley Cattle Ranch
Mr. Buckley is easily the largest landholder in the area. His land encompasses nearly half of the valley, and for most of the year his cattle roam freely on the property. During the calving season any extra help is welcomed. Years ago in the Spring they would drive the cattle out of the valley and up north to be sold, but since the rail station was built the animals are shipped by railroad car.

&& Piney Woods
At the east end of the valley is a forest that the residents simply call "The Piney Woods". The trees are thin right at the edge, as the town gets most of it's timber from this area, but further in the forest is very dense. Unless you are very familiar with the area, it's not wise to wander in here alone. It's easy to get turned around.

&& The Old Britton Homestead & Abandoned Mine
Now abandoned, this homestead was settled by Grace Britton's grandfather near the edge of the woods back up against one of the hills in the valley. He mined the hill until a partial cave in killed him, and the land, house, and mine passed to Grace's father, Walter. He lived here with his family until Grace's mother, Amelia, died when she was 13, and then it was abandoned. Over the years the forest has reclaimed it, hiding it away from view, making it a perfect hideout for anyone who does not want to be found.
