• Menard Elementary School - Menard TX
    The Works Progress Administration (WPA) completed work at the Menard Elementary School in Menard. At the site, there are two WPA markers that contain the same information—"Works Progress Administration 1938-1940." One of the structures is a school building and the other is a gymnasium; one plaque resides by the entrance to each. There has been extensive modernization to the entrances and they now have a new metal roof. A rock wall surrounds the perimeter of the property, but there is no WPA marker on the wall.
  • Presidio De San Saba - Menard TX
    In 1937, the Works Progress Administration (WPA) rebuilt a portion of the Presidio de San Saba, but due to poor workmanship, it soon fell into ruins. A WPA project rebuilt a portion of the fort for the Texas Centennial in 1936, and today it is open to the public. The restored Presidio we see today is from 2011, not 1937 (per information board photo #5).
