Carson County Historical Markers

NUMBER OF MARKERS IN COUNTY - 50

Have -47  Need - 3

16th September, 2018 - Update-  We revisited this region in April 2018. We pretty much started this trip with Carson County. My impressions of this area iare that there are a lot of decaying old buildings, there are trains moving through here all the time and its flat farmland is the first time we flew to our destination of Amarillo, previously we have always driven but it is a very long drive, and then only more driving when you arrive, so we hopped a flight. It started cool and very windy. You can tell that Carson County really care about their historical markers and work hard to preserve them. The Carson County White House Museum was open during the week, at the time they said they would be, this is almost unheard of and exciting for us, because they helped us capture the Conway Community Church medallion & plate that was locked inside the church. 
     We missed the Sacred Heart Catholic Cemetery marker and I am uncertain that it is actually up. The Texas historical Commission lists a marker for N-Bar-N Ranch House but I believe this is a duplicate entry because this ranch is the also the White House Museum. The only marker we are not sure about is the medallion and plate that I mentioned earlier for the Jackson Store. I'm trying to find out what happened to it. 

 The county Seat of Carson County is Panhandle and that is also where the majority of the markers reside, with a good portion of them at the Square House Museum.  The county named for Samuel Price Carson the  first secretary of state of the Republic of Texas. 
    When we visited Carson County it was the start of the trip home and we were starting to get a little road weary. The plan was at this stage  only stop for towns, and markers that were not far out of our way, we were not trying to knock out the whole county at this stage of our trip. So we only really visited White Deer. We could not see a medallion and plate on Jackson General Store, the 18 x 28 was there, as was the old store but the medallion & plate was not on the outside. That was really the only one that gave us difficulty, we even snagged a couple of new ones that we weren't expecting, they have added another couple since so I guess this won't be our only visit to White Deer
