Menard County Texas

Early 1900's Map of Downtown

The above map was included in the Menard County History-An Anthology book published by the Menard Historical Society. I find I use this quite frequently when reading newspaper articles or being told stories about something that happened in Menard as a reference to location of events. As I locate structures that are still standing.....or old pictures of the above buildings, I will add the links to this site. Since it's hard to read this map, I've numbered the buildings below.
