Eventually the railroad arrived in the area and the residents eventually moved creating a the new town of Teague in 1906. Teague also has a 3300 foot long airport used primarily for recreational use.

At the heart of the Shroud controversy is the validity of the carbon dating performed on three samples snipped from the Shroud in April 1988. The samples were taken from the front foot area of the14-foot-long linen, on which the faint image is laid out in a head to head, dorsal and frontal view.
Carbon dating has been debunked because we've done tests where we take an object that is only 10 years old and it says that it's millions of years old. Then we take a fossil that is supposed to be millions of years old, and the test comes back that it's only 50,000 years old.
