A couple music-related historical markers are headed for downtown Mineola.

The Mineola Landmark Commission has received the marker for the East Texas Serenaders, early pioneers in Texas Swing music in the 1930s with ties to Mineola and Wood County.

The marker will be near Commerce and Line Streets. A marker for song writer Jack Rhoades will also be installed in that vicinity when it is received.

The commission will be seeking a grant from the Wood County Economic Development Commission for interactive signs planned along the history walking trail at Iron Horse Square Park.

Plans are progressing for a ceremony to replace the cornerstone at the Mineola Historical Museum.

The cornerstone of the former post office was opened last summer during sesquicentennial events to reveal a treasure trove of historical documents from 1936.

Modern items are being collected to be placed in the cornerstone with plans to reveal them in 50 years for the city’s bicentennial in 2073.

The commission’s annual holiday tour of homes is in need of locations for the tour.

Contact the commission if interested in participating.
