Mountain Home, Texas
Mountain Home is not really situated among mountains, but the setting is very picturesque. It was established in 1890 by storekeeper Thomas A. Dowdy to serve the surrounding ranchers with staple foods and supplies. Mountain Home, in western Kerr County on Texas 27/41 (just south of I-10), still provides much the same service in a rather sparsely populated area of several very large ranches.
