Active and artistic is the best way to describe Milam County. Created in 1834 and named after Benjamin Rush Milam – a soldier in the Texas Revolution – over 25,000 Texans call it their home. Wilson-Ledbetter Park is the highlight of Milam with twenty-five acres of green grass and wildlife. FunFest & BBQ Shootout and the Fourth of July Celebration are major attractions in Milam. Hit the trails on foot or by bike at the City Pool Park and cool off afterward in the pool or splash pad, or take in the arts at Cameron ISD Performing Arts Center where you may catch a performance by Temple Symphony Orchestra.
