History in
a Pecan Shell
There
are (or were) Hopewells in Franklin,
Houston, Red
River, Smith,
Upshur and Williamson
Counties. Somervell’s
Hopewell is now covered by Squaw Creek Lake. Fortunately, great effort
was taken to preserve a part of the forgotten community by moving
its tiny post office to Glen
Rose to sit on the courthouse square next to the museum.
Photographer's Note:
Hopewell TX Post Office
This little post office was saved and now sits in Glen
Rose next to the Museum on the Courthouse Square. - William
