Wise County, Texas

The story

Built 1877 at Old Aurora (2 miles east). Lower floor used first as school with rent $2.50 a month, then as drug store, post office. Second floor always lodge hall.

Moved here 1900, in one piece, as Aurora, missed by railroad, began to decline.

Hear thousands of these as you drive.

Duane reads Texas historical markers out loud, hands-free, in his own voice. Join early access and we'll tell you the moment he's ready to ride.
