Wheeler County Historical Markers

MARKERS IN COUNTY- 36

A county in the panhandle, on the Texas eastern state line with Oklahoma. Wheeler is the county seat. County is named for Royal T. Wheeler who was second chief justice of the Texas supreme count. Wheeler's town Motto is "a town of friendship & pride" and I have say I felt this. We got more help getting to historical markers than probably any other county I remember. People gave us directions and happily granted permission onto private property to take pictures of some of the old rock buildings. From the county's website it looks like there are now tours available to visit these sites. 
   The Britt Rock House has been razed I believe, so this the only one we didn't see in 2012 when we were there. The Farmer and Merchants Bank Building did not have a marker on it. There are now several new markers that we will need to visit it's exciting to me that this relatively small county has such an active historical commission and takes pride in their history. I love this county!
