This medallion is located next to the western entrance to the sudden County courthouse in downtown Sonora, Texas.
The Atlas shows that this historic marker is a medallion only, but they also list text that usually goes on a marker plate with it. The day Blasterz were there, we did not see any sign that a plate ever went with this medallion.
