Milam Settlers' Day

|
 November:
Weekend Before Thanksgiving
On the weekend before Thanksgiving,
when Autumn is being felt in the South,
it is time for Milam Settlers Days.
This festival finds many interesting
foods available as well as a selection
of crafts at this festival in historic
Milam, Texas.
The historic theme of the festival is
focused on the Causey House in Milam
at the corners of Texas Highways 21/103
and US Highway 87 in El Camino Park.
 The
hardworking Milam Settlers Day Organization
was formed around 1992 and the group
keeps annual activities going in the
small community. The festivities promote
Milam and remember the settlers who
founded it.
Milam
is Sabine County's oldest town with
a history that dates back to at least
1828 at which time it was called Red
Mound.

The house is restored and is a virtual
museum containing many artifacts and
interesting display items.
Since Settlers Days are held at a time
when we begin thinking of Christmas,
there is even a Christmas tree decorated
with such items as strings of popcorn.
Spend a beautiful Fall day here and
enjoy a remembrance of the way things
once were.
LOCATION: Milam, Texas
is at the junction of Texas Highways
87 (North of Hemphill, Tx) and Highway
21/103 (just West of the Pendleton
Bridge crossing Toledo Bend Reservoir).
