Coleman County Historical Markers
NUMBER OF MARKERS IN COUNTY - 37
Have - 29 Need- 8
County is named for Robert M. Coleman who was a signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence. County seat is Coleman. Coleman County is an area we have been in and out of many times but have never stayed in. I do have my eye on the swanky Rancholoma in Valera though I think if we did stay there not much marker hunting would get done because we wouldn't want to leave the facility 😋 .
We have yet to visit the area around Camp Colorado but I believe the cemetery and centennial marker are accessible. I think the guard house may be able to be seen from the road but I have yet to see a recent photo of it and have never seen the medallion it is supposed to have. The tricky ones for this county are the Cleveland- Anson House, Ken Elkins Home and The Rock House on Day Ranch all are on private property with vague directions and none are easily accessible, I have written to Coleman County Historical Commission for assistance because I am always up for a challenge and would love to complete the set for Coleman County (maybe we could celebrate at Rancholoma............I think I'm really warming to that idea). |
The unique thing about these properties in Coleman County is that despite several searches over many years I have never seen a picture of any of the houses, this is unusual they have been around for a long time and are of interest historically.
25th March, 2019 - Coleman County has added one new cemetery photo and its there. The frustrating ones are the ones I my not sure are even still standing Cleveland-Anson House, Camp Colorado Guard House, Ken Elkins Home and The Rock House on Day Ranch.
