San Saba County Historical Markers 

NUMBER OF MARKERS IN COUNTY - 51
    Named after the San Saba River and just to keep it simple the county seat is San Saba. Located in Western Central Texas (it really couldn't get much more central)  on the Edwards Plateau. 
       We have been to San Saba at least three times and one of those times we stayed in Burnham's Lodging on the square which was a neat little hotel. As I have said before this allows me to get up early and take pictures without cars parked in front of my buildings and some better courthouse shots. 
   We are still missing a few markers from this county. The Cedar Log Cabin is actually inside the Cedar Log Cabin Museum and is can be difficult to get access because you have to be there on the third Tuesday between 12-12-30 and the moon has to be exactly the right shade of blue, okay I'm joking this museum is open Saturday and Sunday afternoons in summer the but they will also open by appointment and this is totally understandable because these country museums are usually staffed by volunteers and keep running by donations.  San Saba County has a fairly active historical commission and usually adds a marker or two a year so there are three new ones for us to visit. Since we were these last. Lathum Cemetery is on private property and we have yet to contact the owner to ask permission to access . Old Algerita Cemetery is listed as having a marker but it was not there the last two times we looked the David Williams from the San Saba Historical Commission thinks that a marker was never purchased they simply choose to have the Texas Historic Cemetery designation. 
 The Polk Ranch marker has been missing since the eighties though the pink granite plaque where it was once situated is still there. Now, the W. H. (Uncle Billy) Gibbons marker is 17 miles down a dirt road in a boy scout camp. Some friends of ours with the same crazy hobby call this the miles to marker ratio , this means sometimes you can travel 20 miles and capture 10 markers along the route. For this marker it would mean spending approximately an hour and traveling 34 miles  for one marker and hope the marker is accessible when you get half way. Not to say we won't do it, it certainly would not be the first time we have trekked that far for one marker it just hasn't worked out thus far. ​ I actually find these ones more valuable because there are not many pictures of these ones out there, Steve would mostly like to get as many stickers that make the markers off our map as possible and one of these type of markers take a serious chuck of time where  we could of gotten 10 other markers. 😬
