This pink granite DAR marker was placed in 1918 as a statewide project by the Daughters of the American Revolution to mark the route of the Old San Antonio Road.
The marker is in a roadside pull-out along the SH 21 west of Milam TX in the Sabine National Forest with another historic marker recalling a historic Spanish Rancho that once sheltered refugees when Spain evacuated its colonists from this area in 1773.
The waymarked El Camino Real marker reads as follows:
"KING'S HIGHWAY
CAMINO REAL

Marked by the
Daughters of the
American Revolution
and the State of Texas
