Historical Markers

This is a new project which lists all the Historical markers in the county with a picture (as I get them), the text on the marker, and a location. I am working on a comprehensive map of all the markers.
There currently 74 recorded Historical Markers in Rusk County, along with 5 sites listed in the National Register. Some of the markers are missing or not yet placed. A couple of them are on private property.
