WAXAHACHIE, Texas — The last time a total solar eclipse passed through this Texas town, horses and buggies filled the streets and cotton fetched 9 cents a pound. Overcast skies are forecast for Monday’s cosmic wonder across Texas, already packing in eclipse chasers to the delight of small town businesses. “I feel so lucky that I don’t have to go anywhere,” the Ellis County Museum’s Suzette Pylant said Saturday as she welcomed visitors in town for the eclipse. Among the handmade soaps: “Luna,” “Solar Power,” “Mother Earth” and “Hachie Eclipse of the Heart.” The next one is centuries away “so we figured we’d go all out,” explained owner Kalee Hume. You can’t control it.” An antique shop displays “Totality Prepared” sign ahead of the solar eclipse in Waxahachie, Texas on Saturday, April 6, 2024.
