Llano County Historical Markers

NUMBER OF MARKERS IN COUNTY - 66
Have- 60 Need- 6
Llano County is named after the Llano River, and guess what? The county seat is also Llano! We’ve been here a few times, and it’s definitely gotten busier over the years. You know what’s funny? Llano was the first place I ever saw people lining up for barbecue. The line at Coopers was huge, all around the building! At first, I wasn’t even sure what the line was for. I love barbecue, but we’ve never dared to brave that kind of wait.

My favorite memory of Llano is of the baby bald eagles. That was an experience I’ll never forget! Seeing those eagles up close felt like such a privilege, but it was also amazing to see all the people on the side of the road waiting to catch a glimpse of these incredible birds.

Enchanted Mountain is also a must-visit if you’re in Llano County. The climb to the top is worth it for the breathtaking view.

Now, here’s the thing: we need to find some missing markers. There’s this puzzle piece that’s missing, and I’m not sure which marker it belongs to. I know the Castell marker is missing, but I think there might be a rock in Castell with a couple of holes in it. That’s where I think the marker was located. The only other one I can think of is the marker for the “First Known Religious Services.” I’ve already written to the Llano Historical Commission for answers, and I’m waiting to hear back from them.

We’d love to visit the marker on the top of Pack Saddle Mountain, the Lappe House, and the Matthew Moss marker on private property. I’ve never seen a picture of any of them, so I hope they’re still there.

15th November, 2018 - On November 15, 2018, we visited Llano briefly on our way home. The above points still apply. We hoped to visit the Lantex Theater, but it was unavailable during our visit. 
10th August, 2025 - On August 10, 2025, we went on a day trip and took some photos of the Lantex Theater. We’re still hoping to get some shots of the Lappe House, Matthew Mark Moss, and Packsaddle Mountain, but they’re all on private property. I have a friend who lives in Llano and is on the trail for us, so we’ll see what she finds. Oh, and the marker that says ‘First Known Religious Services in Castell’ is actually a marker for Mason County, so I removed it from Llano County even though it’s listed in the Texas Historical Atlas under Llano. Also, there have been a couple of new houses added, but I’m not sure if the markers for them have been placed yet.
