TEXAS HISTORICAL MARKERS

Palo Pinto County Historical Markers

NUMBER OF MARKERS IN COUNTY- 53
HAVE- 24 NEED-29
Picture
 Named for the Palo Pinto Stream with the county seat also Palo Pinto. We have only explored maybe half of this county, we have yet to visit the northeastern towns of Mineral Wells and Graford. We also have not actually stayed in Palo Pinto only visited as part of a bigger trip to this region. I will say I have heard great things about the chicken fried steak at Mary's Cafe in Strawn and when we were their the locals seemed to agree as the car park was full. I do wish we had more time at Possum Kingdom State Park but for this trip it was a quick photo op only. 
    As to historical markers thus far the Texas Historical Commission lists a marker for Strawn drugstore I believe was never dedicate but have written to the Palo Pinto Historical Commission to confirm. We also failed to locate the marker for the Site of the Snake Saloon with I have seen pictures of so I'm hoping we just missed it but am afraid it fell foul to misadventure. We didn't find the marker for William Whipple Johnson which was reported missing in 2009. 
   November 8th, 2017- Palo Pinto Historical Commission report that the Site of Snake Saloon and the marker for William Whipple Johnson were replaced and as suspected the Strawn Drugstore never actually had a marker, nor for that fact does the first Christian Church of Mineral Wells.
