Opening of Baumann, Connor trail October 19th

Two Milam County families, the Baumanns and the Connors, will be officially opening a 2.2mile retracment of the El Camino Real de los Tejas on their private properties in the Rancheria Grande area near Gause. The trail allows visitors to see the swales made by the wagons as well as other artifacts. The opening is on Oct. 19 and is an invitation only event.

Both families have been working with the National Park Service for over two years to complete this project, which is one of the very few private areas in Texas that will be open to the public to celebrate the early history of Texas.

The public may make reservations in parties of two by emailing staff@ elcaminorealdelostejas. Once the reservation is confirmed, the state organization will send event details.
