Callahan County, Texas Pictures
My purpose for building this picture site is to bring back memories to people that grew up in Callahan County. Kind alike a picture book. Set back in your comfortable chair and let the memories past before your eyes. Say "Oh yes I remember this place, I rode by it on the school bus or when my family went to town". Vicki Hargrove was at the Cottonwood Historical family meeting. She had an aerial picture of her homeplace that is no longer there. Vicki if you read this, I would like to have a copy for the Callahan site. We rode on the same bus to school together. So I pass her house for 12 years. I hope these pictures bring back some happy memories
or amaze people on what Callahan look like at one time.
