Located 18 miles from Pendleton Bridge
Highway 6 West across Pendleton Bridge to Texas Hwy 21 will lead you toward Hemphill, Texas. For a brief history detour, turn into Pendleton Subdivision off Hwy 21 to visit the Gaines-Oliphant House, built around 1818, and known as one of the earliest Pre-Republic and Anglo-American structures in Texas.
Continue on Hwy 21 about 7 miles to Milam, incorporated in 1837. Nethery's General Merchandise, the oldest continuously-run business in Sabine County, dates back to the 1880's. It is a unique shopping experience.
