Guadalupe County Historical Markers
NUMBER OF MARKERS IN COUNTY - 83
Have- 73 Need-10
Named for the Guadalupe River. The county seat is Seguin. We have been in and around Guadalupe County several times as it is relatively close to home. The time that immediately comes to mind is a family vacation in a holiday rental house right on the river. Steve's family has done these vacations together in the past but this was the first since I had joined the family. The family is growing and it's not particularly easy to get a group of this size (20 plus) together and then it is also challenging to find suitable accommodation but we did it, four generations for 4 days, it was such a lot of fun. The jewel, of course, being that we were right on the river. My mother-in-law often mentions doing it again.
There are some markers on private property that we have yet to visit, the right time has just never corresponded with a good time to access. The biggest challenge (or annoyance) has been confirming whether the Andrew Neill Church House is still in existence, we have not been able to locate it but I'd love to be sure. The Andrew Herron Home is noted in the Texas Historical Commission atlas as being razed. It is however still standing the medallion & plate is missing but the house doesn't look like it's going anywhere anytime soon. The Humphrey House and the Hollamon - Eskine House are one and the same but are listed separately in the atlas. The Jauer Family Cemetery has also caused some frustration as you can see the marker from the road but how to gain access to it has eluded us, though we have looked at least three times.

22nd March, 2020 - There are three new markers listed in Guadalupe County, and I know two of them are up. All of the others we still need to capture are difficult for one reason or another. Either they are on private property or in the case of Colonel James Clinton Neill and Andrew Neill Church may be missing and thus inassessible. I'm hoping Guadalupe will provide some insight.
