“Give me land, lots of land under starry skies above, don’t fence me in.” Oops, I guess we invented a lot of ways to fence ourselves in. Come to the San Saba County Historical Museum this weekend and see one of the best “Bob” wire collections around. ( I know, it’s barbed wire, but who really says it that way?)
The museum is open from 1:30 to 4 Saturday and Sunday. Admission is free, donations are appreciated. Hope to see you there.
I may try to get a count on the different varieties of wire while we are hosting Sunday. 🤪

Guess what Honey? It’s the time of year beekeepers start thinking of harvesting their “crop”. It’s amazing how much these little buzzing, flying insects contribute to our lives. They help pollinate all of our crops and produce a sweet treat in the process.
On another note, if you want to have a “smokin” good time this weekend, come by for a visit at the San Saba County Historical Museum. Open from 1:30 to 4, Saturday and Sunday. Located in beautiful Mill Pond Park. Admission is free, donations are appreciated.
(Yes, I know the “smokin” good time joke was a stretch 😂)

Taking the opportunity this week to thank all of our volunteer firefighters in our area who gave selfless time and effort in battling the fire between San Saba and Cherokee this week. They had a lot of help from other agencies and we are grateful for that also. Be careful out there folks.

I’m old enough to remember when the museum was just this log structure in Mill Pond Park. I also remember when the current structure was built around it. Who else remembers it that way? I hope I will be able to help with the planned addition soon. It will be an honor.
Come see the museum as it currently stands. If you have never been I promise it will be a treat.
Open Saturday and Sunday from 1:30 to 4. Admission is free, donations are appreciated.
The wife and I will be there Sunday along with a couple of other friendly hosts. We would love to show you around.

General Blue sent a follow up inspection by Master Sergeant Scout and Sergeant Major River. We passed with flying colors.
Seriously, Blue, Scout and River are all brothers. They are all great grandsons of Edgar Sanderson who is featured for his military service in the honors room. It’s great to have visitors who have a connection with someone who is featured at the museum.
Come by and visit the best county museum in Texas. The San Saba County Historical Museum is located in beautiful Mill Pond Park. We are open Saturday and Sunday from 1:30 to 4. Admission is free, donations are much appreciated. Hope to see you there.

After attending the water conservation meeting this morning I was reminded of how fortunate we are here in San Saba county. We have been blessed with abundant water sources. After living in the desert Southwest of NM where water is scarce I’ve learned how important water is. Come visit us this weekend at the San Saba County Historical Museum, located in beautiful Mill Pond Park (there’s that water theme again). Open Saturday and Sunday from 1:30 to 4.
Come discover the industries that keep San Saba thriving and depend on water.

I read a couple of weeks ago that our county commissioners and county judge decommissioned our county jail. They did so with a heavy heart. Up until recently our county jail had been the oldest operating jail in the United States. What will happen to it now? Museum annex?
If you are looking for something to do this weekend and stay cool, come see us at the San Saba County Historical Museum. Open Saturday and Sunday from 1:30 to 4. Admission is free, donations are greatly appreciated. Have a great weekend.
