G.T.L.C. #8 Franklin Texas Traditional Cache

Ghost Towns of Liberty County is a series of caches in small towns and settlements that have dyed off. Some have nothing left to tell you there was anything ever there. Some have a few buildings and houses and others have been swallowed by larger towns. Most of the information I have on these towns I have gotten from The Handbook of Texas Online. If you start looking there are hundreds of these towns in Texas.
