Tex as he appeared in his most famous role as Brizzard in "The Oregon Trail", 1959, opposite Fred McMurray

As "Brizzard", Tex uses his whip to take down a citizen in "The Oregon Trail", while Fred MacMurray, standing next to the wagon, looks on. Tex was a very skilled "whip man" and was often asked to display his talents in films without actually appearing on screen.

New owners restored many of Tex Terry's original Hollywood cowboy movie stills, posters, and other memorabilia to the interior spaces, creating a cozy and unique dining experience.

Today, the Rock Run Cafe and Bakery no longer stands, succuming to a devastating fire that totally destroying it and its unique history.
