A squatty pink granite marker from 1936 along the Crosby-Lynchburg road with some information about the historic Lynch's Ferry just a few miles down the road. Thousands of tourists taking the main road off the I-10 to the San Jacinto Monument have probably driven right past this marker and never seen it!
