What
readers say
Your photos have
sent me on a real nostalgia trip. - Dwight Young, Preservation Magazine
What a delight!
... A refreshing breath of fresh air amidst the stale pages of the usual travel
web sites. I appreciate your mission, dedication and the very high quality of
the site. Thanks for what you do. - Sue White, Rockwall, TX
Your
website is absolutely fabulous. Every time I take a road trip across Texas I always
check your website first to see if there is something, anything, a courthouse
or ghosttown, that I should visit along the way. - Bob Worley It's
good to know that someone takes the time to keep up with the history of the lesser
known areas that are barely considered "towns." Thanks for that. - David
Scheffler, Kosciusko, Texas |
Thanks for compiling such
a good source of information! I consistently find myself being directed to Texas
Escapes when looking for info on Texas counties. - Kara R. Dotter, UT Austin
I
am not a Texan but I sure spend an awful lot of time driving in your fair state!!
Love learning about what I am looking at and now I am beginning to actually look
FOR and know what it is I AM looking at. - Kathy Price, Ossian, Indiana
Those of us
who have traveled the state appreciate the time, exposure, and excellent way you
go about your task. And, those under 40 will someday be grateful for what you
are doing. - Henry Adrion III
I regularly access Texas Escapes as a resource. You continue to have the best
history/heritage/travel website in Texas, perhaps the world. - Bob Bowman,
Lufkin | |
