Karnes County Historical Markers

NUMBER OF MARKERS IN COUNTY - 34

Need- 4 Have- 30

 The county seat is Karnes City and the county is named for a soldier in the Texas Revolution Henry Karnes. There is a strong Polish community history, and this is reflected in the architecture which is beautiful and striking,
  We visited for the first time in 2006 and then again earlier this year (2022). We have a few more markers to capture and I love to retake a few in Panna Maria because they are not what I would like.
