Texas | Yeah it’s out a little ways from things. More and more of the farm fields out that way have disappeared due to housing developments. I was kind of surprised while coming to a stop sign at the intersection of Butcher Rd and FM813. There directly across to the east is new construction for yet another development being excavated.
Parts of the movie, “Places in the heart” were filmed not far from the Rockett Cafe. The farm house where Sally Field’s character in the movie lived is still standing as is the barn. It sits away from FM813 to the west.
When coming down Highway 77, which is east of 35E, just look for the Exxon station at the southeast corner of Butcher Rd and 77. There’s a signal light there. Turn east onto Butcher and just keep going straight. You’ll go past a church to the right and then a little further up is a school. There are houses on both sides of the road. Eventually you’ll come to a stop sign where Butcher Rd meets FM813. Turn left on 813 and just follow it until you’ll come across a short bridge over a creek. Might be a couple miles. The cafe will be on the right. The second parking lot is on the left.
