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
