Double Bayou Dance Hall Marker Honored in Chambers County
The Chambers County Historical Commission installed a historical marker at the Double Bayou Dance Hall on Eagle Ferry Road to preserve memories of a 1946-era venue once bustling with diverse locals and bands like Pete Mayes and the Texas Houserockers. Notables including Carlton Carrington unveiled the marker while Rep. Wayne Faircloth’s office read a proclamation.
