1. Tiemann School Marker
Named for Theodore Tiemann, who sold one acre of land to the county school district for $5.00, Tiemann School provided educational, cultural, and recreational opportunities for citizens in this area. Beginning in 1903 as a one-room, one-teacher facility, the school eventually was enlarged to accommodate two teachers and many students. A gathering place for many community events, Tiemann School closed in 1943. Along with other area schools, it was annexed by the Seguin School System in 1949.
Erected 1990 by Texas Historical Commission. (Marker Number 5490.)
