TOWASH

NAME: Towash COUNTY: Hill ROADS: 4WD GRID: 3 CLIMATE: hot summer, mild springs and winters BEST TIME TO VISIT: any time

COMMENTS: Towash is located at the mouth of Towash creek. This location requires some hiking to get to. The town still exists however, it is about a mile underwater as The Corps of Engineers built Lake Whitney over the town site. It's a perfect site to visit if you scuba diva. All that remains ABOVE water is an old grain mill. Perfect for the antique hunters as there are plenty of antique bottles and coins buried in shores at the mouth of Towash creek and Lake Whitney. REMAINS: town site *underwater* & old grain mill

Not much is known about this site. However, it is known that John Wesley Harding frequented this site and even wrote about this township in his letters back to his family. He stayed here when traveling through Hillsboro & Whitney, Texas Submitted by: James L. Walden II
