Daughters of the Republic of Texas Trammel's Trace Monument Dedication

The DRT Stone Fort Chapter will be dedicating a monument to recognize Trammel's Trace, the first major trail into Texas from the North. In Nacogdoches, Trammel's Trace connected to the most notable of early roads, El Camino Real de los Tejas. The trace is named for a Tennessean, Nicholas Trammel, who is credited with linking early Indian trails to bring American settlers to the Mexican territory of Texas. Trammel's Trace was a major route for immigration in the early 1800s and played a major role in the establishment of the Republic of Texas.
