Henderson County Historical Marker
NUMBER OF MARKERS IN COUNTY - 113
Have - 1 Need - 112
Named for James Pinckney Henderson, who was a governor of Texas. The county seat is Athens.
We tripped over the one marker we have in this county, it was not part of the plan but we saw it and of course, couldn't just drive past without getting it. So for a little background when we have been on one of our trips and have come home and downloaded the pictures onto our site, I put the county up for review. Initially, this started with the research of the hard ones and still does, but it also ensures we have all the new ones added in. So when something like Henderson County happens, where we only get one marker I still do the review, it's just a very different review to the one I do when there are only 3 or 4 markers left, that we may have already looked for. I map all the markers on out The Roads of Texas Atlas (this will sometimes irritate Steve enough as to trigger a visit if only to clear the map). I see if I can confirm the existence of the marker by looking at the various sites that may have a picture or I even take the google car and see if I can see the marker on the road.
For Henderson County, I was able to confirm a surprising number of the markers, apart from new markers.

19th June, 2020 - On review some new markers have been added that I am not sure are up yet and a couple of the old ones maybe missing. Unfortunately we had planned a trip to this area just prior to COVID and left it a tad to long and everything shut down so hopefully we will be able to reschedule soon.
