The Chicken Ranch was an illegal brothel in the U.S. state of Texas that operated from 1905 until 1973 in Fayette County, about 2.5 miles (4.0 km) east of downtown La Grange The business was notably dramatized in the 1978 Broadway musical The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas , adapted into a 1982 film of the same name .
Interestingly older USGS quad maps show that the Chicken Ranch house was linked to Hwy 71 via a north-south dirt road starting near the old/new US 71 interchange (leading north-northeast from 29.9088,-96.8368), so this would have been just past the "bend" of old US 71 when driving east from La Grange.
