Sycamore Springs Baptist Pioneer Specie — Blanco County

Lost Treasure TX • Blanco County County
Description
Eastern Blanco County legend of pioneer specie near a spring-fed Baptist congregation — in the wooded creek country between Blanco and the Travis County line.
Historical Notes
The first Baptist church in Blanco County was organized in 1859, joining the 1854 Methodist log church Daniel Rawls founded and the union church built in 1871. Rural spring settlements throughout eastern Blanco County clustered along Cypress Creek and tributaries toward the Colorado and Pedernales drainages. Pioneer-congregation folklore places emergency specie where remote farming households handled cash far from the Pittsburg and Blanco commercial districts during Comanche frontier years. Related entry: "Cypress Mill Ghost Town Pioneer Cache" documents separate mill-community folklore east of this pin. Coordinates approximate spring-fed creek country in eastern Blanco County between Blanco and Cypress Mill. Respect private property.
