 November
- the 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.
