Cameron

Cameron, Texas (population: 5,634), is Milam County Seat and 17 miles N of Rockdale, 71 miles NE of Austin, and 32 miles SE of Temple. I drove there last Saturday. Here are the pictures I took. You're welcome.



All Saints Episcopal Church, c. 1907


Milam County Courthouse, c. 1892, Renaissance Revival

The Statue of Justice

Ben Milam, for whom the county was named, is one of Texas' legendary heroes, losing his life in San Antonio early in Texas' battle for independence.

Yes, they are. The one I'm using as a template header now is supposed to be one of the longest murals in the state. It is awesome.
