Near Privilege Creek Rd and Old School Rd about 3 miles off Bandera Road
Polly's Cemetery and Polly's Chapel are all that remains of Polly.
Polly was named for Policarpo Rodrigues (1829-1914). He was a Texas
Ranger, army scout and guide who settled in Privilege Creek area in
1858.
He converted to the Methodist faith and built the chapel of native
stone with his own hands in 1882 where he later preached. In the
late 1800's Polly had 300 residents, a post office and school. The
post office closed in 1912, and when the schools consolidated in
1942, that was about the end.
The church is a peaceful place, usually open (sign the register, and put the rock back). There are restrooms in the back also. For an excerpt from his autobiography.
Please replace the cache as you found it.
