Marker Text

In 1936 the Sarah McCalla Chapter DAR of Cameron created a park (about 3/4 mile upriver) at the site of old Nashville to commemorate the Texas State Centennial.

The Red Rock DAR monument, to the left, was in that park which is now inaccessible.

Sterling C Robertson who was buried in the old Nashville Cemetery was moved to the Texas State Cemetery in Austin in 1935.

This park commemorates the centennial of the Nation Society Daughters of the American Revolution. 1890 - 1990
