Texas History Letterbox Series

The "Davy Crockett" letterbox is located at the location of Davy
Crockett Springs, a nature spring that Davy and his men camped at on
their way to the Alamo, and his death. A stone marker with a
fountain marks the spot. Across the highway is a marker for the El
Camino Real road. Take a look.


Directions:

Located in Crockett. Take Hwy 21/7 from the town square going West
for about ½ mile to the railroad bridge. Park on the right before
the bridge.

To the letterbox:

Walk up to the marker. Now walk around to the backside along the
railroad tie base. The box is hidden under the ties under a pile of
rocks.
