The City of Texarkana, Texas, in partnership with the Texarkana Historic Landmark Commission and historian and author Gary L. Pinkerton, proudly announces the installation of 10 new signs marking the historic route of Trammel’s Trace, the first road to Texas from the North, and a vital link in early American expansion.
This initiative builds on the extensive research of Mr. Pinkerton, author of ‘Trammel’s Trace: The First Road to Texas from the North’, whose work helped pinpoint the original path of the Trace through the Texarkana area. The newly installed signs are strategically placed along public roadways and parks, following the documented route and offering historical context to residents and visitors alike.
Mr. Pinkerton emphasized the trail’s importance to Texarkana’s heritage.
