Geocache Description:


COME SEE CREWS, TX! Don't blink... you may miss it! While here, notice the modern "facilities" and inside the female's rest stop, we left a note for our fellow cachers. Go on in and imortalize your visit. Also, check out the historical marker at the intersection.

From the Handbook of Texas Online:

CREWS, TEXAS (Runnels County). Crews, at the junction of Farm roads 53 and 382 in northeastern Runnels County, was named for C. R. Crews, a Ballinger businessman. A school opened there in 1888, and in 1892 J. D. Wise and a Mr. Broughton established a post office and store in Crews, with Wise as postmaster. In 1922 the community's post office closed. Crews had one business and 150 residents in 1940. Its school closed in 1948, and the local Baptist church disbanded in 1968. In 1970 the Methodist church was all that remained of Crews.

Yep, everyone cruised outta Crews! Now all that seems to be left in this area is this impressive structure. Enjoy!
