Not every visit to a Concord leads to an interview, an interesting story or an insight on life. This is especially true when I don’t have the time to make a local contact before I travel out of state. The town of Concord in Houston County is mentioned in the Texas Handbook of Texas, Online : CONCORD, TEXAS (Houston County). Concord was off State Highway 7 eight miles east of Crockett in east central Houston County. It was established after the Civil War. A Presbyterian church was founded there in 1875, and around the same time a school began operating in the church; later a separate school building was constructed. In 1897 the school had an enrollment of forty-six. During the mid-1930s the small community had a church, a cemetery, and a number of houses. After World War II many local residents moved away, and by 1990 only a church and a few widely scattered houses remained in the area. It was a short, and rather disappointing, trip from my base in Crockett to Houston County to see what I could find. All that was left of the community was a pretty graveyard and the barely visible bits of foundation of the old Presbyterian Church. 
 The only building left standing in Concord in Houston Co. Texas. At least the only one I could find.
