Hopewell, Texas, now under Squaw Creek Lake. (original) (raw)
History in a Pecan Shell
There are (or were) Hopewells in Franklin, Houston, Red River, Smith, Upshur and Williamson Counties. Somervell�s Hopewell is now covered by Squaw Creek Lake. Fortunately, great effort was taken to preserve a part of the forgotten community by moving its tiny post office to Glen Rose to sit on the courthouse square next to the museum.
Photographer's Note:
Hopewell TX Post Office
