Llano Masonic Lodge Founded at Comanche Creek
The Comanche Creek schoolhouse, long vanished, hosted the organization of the Llano Masonic Lodge. The first Llano County school built of Cypress lumber traveled by wagon from Cypress Mills and stood near the extreme southeast. Mrs. J. T. Hallford recalls attendance in the 1850s and teaching in the 1890s amid logs and a rock fireplace.
