Tucked into a quiet forested area just a few miles south of Austin, Manchaca is just a small dot on the map when you look at the state of Texas. Don’t let its size fool you though. Manchaca has an old and very interesting history. The Manchaca Onion Creek Historical Association is a non-profit organization made up of history buffs that are passionate about preserving the history of the area. We are in the process of putting together a pictorial history of Manchaca that spans the years 1835 to 1970. We could really use your help! If you or anyone you know has access to original old photographs of the Manchaca area we would love to hear from you! Photos of people with buildings in the background, pictures of the businesses that used to thrive there, photos of the schools or activities would certainly be welcome additions to our collection. Your photos can be scanned while you wait and handed right back to you. If you have a treasured photo you would like to share with us, please contact Ann or Barry Trask at 282-3315 or e-mail them at:
