A little secret behind the five names of our distinguished special events spaces: Kelley, Red River, Singer, Newton, and Bass — all were famous outlaws around Texas in the early 1800s until the 1900s. Notorious for stealing gold, silver, and precious jewel stones, these outlaws buried more than $340 million worth of hidden treasure all over the state of Texas — more buried treasure than any other state. This story has become Texas folklore, and the treasure has yet to be found. The city of Austin is often considered the outlaw of Texas, and these spaces capture the city’s rebellious nature.
