In Groom, Texas, is a roadside stop that has the largest cross in the western hemisphere. It is a small site, but has a beautiful shop and grounds including the fourteen stations of the cross in almost life size sculptures. It is a beautiful stop. You can see the cross for miles before getting to the exit where it is located.<\/p>\n
