Wheelock Schoolhouse, Robertson County
Special to A&M
By Sarah Wilson, Texas A&M University College of Architecture
From tape measures to state-of-the-art laser scans, Texas A&M preservation students employed an array of tools while meticulously documenting an historic schoolhouse building in Wheelock, Texas in a successful effort to help garner funds for the 108-year-old structure's renovation.

Good morning baseball friends! I hope we are all surviving this morning?


I hope you all fared well through the storms. Y'all have been in our thoughts and prayers. We have kids in CS and Galveston so we are in touch with some of what is going on in the communities. Sending our best.

SH 219 was canceled in 1940 and changed to... get this... Sam Houston Grave SS 94. Check out the description; it's pretty cool. In 2006, it was removed from the state highway system entirely and returned to the city of Huntsville.

I went to several family reunions at the Wheelock Schoolhouse as a kid, Lot of good memories associated with that schoolhouse. Had a lot of fun with cousins that I didn't see very often. I think I got in trouble every reunion we had there for trying to sneek up the stairs. There was no AC and in July it was often hotter inside the schoolhouse than it was outside

Texas Historical Marker 219
Norse Historic District, Bosque County, Texas

Between 1854 and the turn of the century, thousands of settlers from Norway located in the Clifton Texas area and established the largest Norwegian colony in the US west of the Mississippi River. They settled primarily in a triangular area northwest of Clifton extending 18 miles to the town of Cranfills Gap. This area today is known as the Norse Historic District, created by the Department of the Interior in 1983.

Those are such great memories to have. I always got in trouble with my cousins on my great grandmother's farm.

"House of the Seasons" in Jefferson, Texas, derives from the play of light through its cupola's stained-glass windows, which produce effects that suggest all four seasons.

I've been there before. If you are in Jefferson, it's worth taking the tour.

Thanks. My parents are in SA, so I would probably just go there for a visit if I'm going to go anywhere.

The hush puppies at Big Pine Lodge were the best I've ever had. In addition to paying your check at the register, you could also grab some ammunition.

Caddo is the only natural lake in Texas. I still can't believe that but it's true. It's an amazing lake.

Originally known as Oakhurst, the Fulton Mansion was completed by George Ware and Harriet (Smith) Fulton in 1877, as an enduring symbol of their years of success.
Also it happens to be where my parents are in Rockport...

My parents lived in Old Tasslefoot Village for 50+ years. Dad would visit the Big Tree daily to feed the squirrels. I've got a ton of great memories of that area.

After dad passed in late 2022, I rented a VRBO in The Reserve so that my family could all stay under one roof rather than they be scattered in multiple hotels. The house was beautiful with a great view of St. Charles Bay.

If you're looking for a quiet place to relax, the Goose Island State Park area can't be beat.

My mom and dad, known better to all of you as Mark Fairchild on this board, have been in Rockport for some time now. I need to go and visit ASAP, but hurricanes and Summer 1302 teaching got in the way as of late. But when I do I fully intend on going to the spot you recommended.

Texas Historical Marker #216
E.J. Jenkins House, Bryan, Texas
constructed in 1893 by prominent Bryan builder Charlie Jenkins for his brother Edwin James Jenkins (1867-1959). A native of England, E.J. Jenkins came to Bryan in 1878. He operated a drugstore in downtown Bryan for over 50 years and served as Mayor and a City Councilman. The classic Queen Anne style home, which features a domed tower and wraparound veranda, remained in the Jenkins family until the property was sold in 1971.

I could sit on one of the piers extending into St. Charles Bay for hours & hours. Let that sea breeze out of the SE keep you cool together with a cold drink.

It's almost as fun as Aggie baseball.
