A key responsibility of the
Calhoun County Historical Commission is to author applications for Texas
Historical Markers. Markers commemorate diverse subjects and can include
historic structures over 50 years of age, individuals who have made a lasting
contribution to the county or state, military sites, community organizations,
religious congregations and events that impacted county or state history
- just to name a few.
Commission members are also available to assist
local citizens or groups with creation of a marker application.
