Two Historical Markers

Ruthie, Sarah and I at the Old Salt Mill Marker

Well with beach day coming to an end, we decided to go look for an interesting historical marker. The trip to Whataburger was great. We were hungry from being outside for three hours. The historical marker is about the Old Salt Mill that Corpus Christi used to have during the 1860s. Personally, I never knew that we had a mill downtown during the earlier time period. It was used to help supply Corpus with needed products and created more job opportunities. This marker was pretty interesting to look at, except for the plant that was behind us while taking this picture. Every time we went closer to the marker, the plant would poke us in the back. It hurt, but it was worth the good picture.   

Nueces Hotel Historical Marker

But First Let Me Take A Selfie

The Nueces Hotel Historical Marker is right next to the Old Salt Mill one. Of course it goes with my project because the hotel was located downtown at one point and time. It was special to the city because it was a very known hotel that people always went to. It was a place where people would vacation at and activities always took place there. It was our very own resort of that time, which makes it important to downtown and the city as well. It makes sense why it is a historical marker because this hotel was very important to our city during the early years of development that Corpus Christi had.
