of Burnet on south side of SH 29.
Kentucky native Adam Rankin Johnson
(1834-1927) came to Texas in 1854. After attaining the rank of

in Burnet county where he was active in business and civic
affairs. In 1882 he donated land for the railroad that carried
Burnet county granite for Texas state capitol. This stone barn, on

BADGER BUILDING
- LOCATION: 229 S. Pierce Street,
Burnet.
Completed about 1883, this two-story
limestone structure is representative of other commercial
buildings located on the courthouse square in the 1880s. It was
built for local financier Dr.W.H.Westfall and Captain Brandt
Badger (b.1839), a native of Georgia who had served in the
Confederate Army from Texas during the Civil War. Badger and his
son Walter operated a wholesale and retail drugstore on the ground
floor. The second floor area, divided into five rooms, was leased
for use as office spaces. Badger sold the business in 1885 and
later, in partnership with Adam R. Johnson, helped establish the
nearby town of Marble Falls (14 miles). For the latter part of the
nineteenth century the structure housed a hardware store. In 1903
the newly formed Burnet National Bank was located here and
remained at this site until it closed as a result of the economic
depression of the 1930s.
The Badger building has also been used
by the State Parks Board, the Burnet Rural Telephone Company, the
Farm Loan Association, doctors, lawyers, and various businesses.
From 1948 to 1959 it served as the Burnet Post Office. In 1966 the
structure was occupied by the Youth And Community Center. (1980)

BERTRAM -
Location: Vaughan Highway Park,
SH 29 West, Bertram
The town of Bertram was founded in 1882
when the Austin And Northwestern Railroad established a route
through the area. The community was named for Rudolph Bertram, an
Austin merchant who was instrumental in the development of the
rail line. Many early residents were from the settlement of South
Gabriel (2 miles SE). Homes and commercial buildings of the
pioneer settlers were moved here by brothers L.R. and J.W. Gray.
The first store, also relocated from South Gabriel, was run by
James D. Riley and Capt. Tom D. Vaughan.
Bertram developed as a marketing center
for the area's diversified agricultural production. Continued
growth came during World War I when the demand for farm and ranch
products increased and by the 1920s it was the site of auto
dealerships, four banks, a newspaper, a hotel and a variety of
other businesses. The economic depression of the 1930s, World War
II and improved methods of transportation combined to limit
Bertram's growth. Incorporated in the 1970s, the town remains an
agricultural center. It serves as a reminder of the pioneers who
settled here over a century ago. Many of their descendants still
live in the area and serve as leaders of the community.
BERTRAM
SCHOOL - LOCATION: In front of
school, on FM 243, Bertram.
When Bertram was founded in 1882 along
the Austin & Northwestern Railroad, one of the first
structures erected was a combination school, Sunday School, and
Masonic Lodge Hall. Rudolph Bertram, Austin railroad executive for
whom the town was named, contributed $50 for construction of the
school. the frame building was enlarged as the community grew. By
1908, however, new facilities were needed for the 264
students.In May 1909, Bertram voters approved
incorporation as an independent school district and construction
of a new school building. This 2-story red brick structure was
erected on property purchased from T.D. Vaughn. Designed by
architect George Endress and built by contractor M.L. Langford, it
opened in the fall of 1909 with J.N. Matthews as the first
principal. Bertram was then in the midst of a cotton-growing boom,
and students often missed the beginning of school to help in the
fields. As the enrollment increased, sports and
other extra-curricular activities were introduced. A separate high
school was erected in 1925 and a gymnasium in 1948. Over a period
of years, several smaller county schools transferred their
students to Bertram. In 1970 Bertram schools merged with the
Burnet district.

sold to L.C. and J.H. Chamberlain, members of a pioneer Burnet
County family. the "Bulletin" remained in the ownership of the
Chamberlain family until 1960. The newspaper operation has
survived numerous hardships over the years, including the
destruction of its offices in a 1920 fire. The Bulletin" has been
housed here since 1979.
Completed in 1872, this structure was
used continuously as a general retail merchandising store until

ground for up to 17 bodies, including those of pro-Union Judge
John R. Scott and settler Adolph Hoppe, several reconstruction-era
county government officials, and Ben McKeever, who had a conflict
with local freedmen. An oak tree which once stood over the cave
was said to have rope marks caused by hangings. Powerful gases
prevented thorough exploration of the site until 1951. The hole

into this area of Burnet County in 1853. In 1861, Conrad Fuchs

GRANITE MOUNTAIN -
LOCATION: On FM 1431, 1 mile West of Marble Falls.
This 866-foot dome of solid pink
granite, covering 180 acres, contains the largest quarry of its
kind in the United States. This mountain, like all granite
formations, was once melted rock, similar to lava. As the molten
rock cooled thousands of feet below the earth's surface, it
hardened into large crystals of quartz, feldspar and several
dark-colored minerals.
Wherever strength, durability and beauty
of finish are required, granite is a favored building stone. The
mountain was part of a grant made to Texas colonist William
Slaughter. The site became famous commercially when a dispute
arose in the 1880s over the type of stone to be used in the
Capitol in Austin. The issue was settled in 1885 when Governor
John Ireland resisted demands to use non-native limestone.
Following this decision, a special track
was built to haul the granite to the rail line in Burnet. The
stone was generously donated to the state by quarry owners G.W.
Lacy, N.L. Norton, and W.H. Westfall.
Today granite from the quarry here is
shipped to all parts of Texas, the U.S., and foreign countries for
use in monuments, shafts, jetties, and buildings. It has been used
in the Galveston sea wall and in new state office buildings near
the Capitol in Austin. (1979) [Photo]

land around the springs, paying 50 cents an acre for 1,280 acres.
He is recorded as the first permanent settler in what later became
Burnet County. When the county organized in 1852, he was the first
treasurer. His father-in-law was the first judge. Holland Springs
was one of the more important settlements in the early days of the
county and had a school. (1969) [Photo]

This lake, originally Granite Shoals,
was renamed for the President of the United States on April 22,
1965, by the Board of Directors, Lower Colorado River Authority
(LCRA) in gratitude for his work as U.S. Congressman and Senator
toward the development of the project. Mr. Johnson devoted much
time and skill to the completion of LCRA programs creating flood

people of the Highland Lake country.
A native of this hill

often as a place of relaxation and entertaining of guests; it is
near his ranch and boyhood home. The body of water impounded by
the Alvin Wirtz Dam has 6,200 surface acre-feet, construction was
begun on the dam in 1949 and since its completion the lake has
primarily been a source of hydroelectric energy from the overflow
of Lake Buchanan to the north. It is also one of Texas' most
outstanding boating and fishing areas. this lake, some 20 miles
