LOCATION:
Oatmeal is on Farm Road 243 eight miles southeast of Burnet
in southeast Burnet County.
This building, once a combined school
and church, was erected in 1869 in Oatmeal, second oldest
community in Burnet County. The settlement, founded in 1849,
had a post office from 1853-1876. This limestone structure
was successor to the first school of 1850. Excepting minor
repairs and additions of a board floor, building looks much
as it did in 1869. It is a church today. A third school
build in 1924 now houses a community center.. Recorded Texas
Historic Landmark -1968.
