I love stopping at historical markers to delve into the past. Recently, I embarked on a mission: capturing photos of these markers, conducting research, and sharing their stories on my blog. With over 16,000 historical markers scattered across Texas, I understand that my collection will never be exhaustive. Nonetheless, I’m committed to capturing as many as I can. If you share my passion for Texas history, I invite you to follow along and share your own experiences. Happy travels!
