Nov 22 & 23 – Milam Settlers Day Weekend – Milam

23rd Annual Milam Settlers Day Weekend
November 22nd and 23rd, 2015

Milam Settlers Day is devoted to the preservation of Milam’s history. The reconstruction of the Causey House was one early project of the organization. The acquisition of a marker to designate the place where Stephen F. Austin spent his first night in Texas has recently been placed on Las Borregas Creek. Future plans include historical markers for the Milam Cemetery and for the town of Milam.

Money raised for Milam Settlers Day is also used for the upkeep of El Camino Park, the site of Milam Settlers Day. In addition, monetary help is provided for the upkeep of the Milam Cemetery and for a scholarship to a local graduate.

Milam Settlers Day, which takes place each year on the weekend before Thanksgiving, is located in Milam, Texas at the junction of Hwys. 87 and 21.
