NUMBER OF MARKERS IN COUNTY- 99
Have -88 Need - 11
Named for Benjamin Rush Milam a soldier in the Texas Revolution, the county seat is Cameron, which to me, still feels like a rural town.
We have been visiting Milam County since 2006 and some of the early photos do embarrass me. I need do some retakes. Milam County has an active Historical Commission (please see link below) and adds at least a couple of markers a year so it does require repeat visits. Luckily we live in Williamson County so it is pretty close to home. In this county there are several challenging markers, markers that are on private property. I like getting these ones though they can often take up to hour a marker. Steve would prefer to get 15 other markers than spend the hours needed to find the property and coordinate access with the owner, but he will do it if I can organize it. We tried to capture the Hobson marker but the gate was locked despite Milam County saying they allow visitors. We have yet to try and access the John Garner marker (yet!!!) and again, there are now new ones to visit, two of which I know are also on private property. There has also been a house (Lockett House) that had marker but has been moved out of the county. If a property is moved from its original location the marker is usually forfeited. |
I personally don't agree with this, if it was moved to save the building. We did actually look for the Mt. Homer Baptist Cemetery and got horribly lost and did not find the cemetery, we did however find a wallet in the middle of a dusty county dirt road which we sent back to the owner who had apparently lost it while riding on his tractor. He was very pleased to get it back.
2nd July, 2018 - The majority of what we have left is on private property. There are three new markers that are up and accessible. John Garner in on the Alcoa Plant property and with planning and permission is accessible. John Hobson, Lewis Family Cemetery, Moss Ragsdale Cemetery and Mt Homer Baptist Cemetery are on private. Lynn Young from Milam County Historical Commission says Minera-Midway Cemetery does not have a marker though it is listed in the Texas Historical Commission atlas as having one. "Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Yoe" is a sculpture at C. H. Yoe High School. Lastly the Williams-Atkinson Homestead, we have looked for the old house for years. The directions that the Texas Historic Commission give are incorrect and until recently I had never even seen a picture of it. MIlam County has added a picture of the house, from the road to their website. The house has recently seen new owners who are apparently not eager for visitors.
