Felicia Frazar /Seguin GazetteIn the early 1840s, the Hardscramble Ranger Station was the home to a pair of Texas’ earliest Rangers — Henry and Benjamin McCullough. Over time, the stone structure had deteriorated, prompting the Vickers family to bring it back to its former glory, preserving this piece of Seguin’s and Texas’ history.
“We planned to do this event a couple of years ago, but then COVID hit and then Eve passed away,” Emily Vickers said. “It is sad that she is not here, but I think she is here.”Shawn Vickers purchased the property the historical Texas landmark is situated on about 12 years ago, Emily said. In 2019, the Vickers family got to work hiring a contractor and an engineering firm to bring the building back to its former glory, Emily said.
The previous owner had renovated the former Ranger Station; however, the work didn’t hold up well, and a hurricane eventually damaged the roof, causing it to collapse and the floor to eventually rot away, Emily said.
