LOCATION: Oatmeal is on Farm Road 243 eight miles
southeast of Burnet in southeast Burnet County.
This building, once a combined
school and church, was erected in 1869 in Oatmeal, second
oldest community in Burnet County. The settlement,
founded in 1849, had a post office from 1853-1876. This
limestone structure was successor to the first school of
1850. Excepting minor repairs and additions of a board
floor, building looks much as it did in 1869. It is a
church today. A third school build in 1924 now houses a
community center.. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark
-1968.
