From Whitney Texas take FM 933 south. Turn left on CR 2124 Loop and follow it until you reach the cemetery on the left side of the road.
The town of Towash still exists under about 1 mile of water at Lake Whitney, so it is an interesting place for divers to visit. The old grain mill still stands above water and offers an alluring place for historians to visit. The town is on the North/ North East side of the lake as opposed the south side by the dam where the old concrete grain silo is located. The city of Towash was located where the Towash creek merges into the Brazos River, and the town almost died when the railroad came through.
Most businesses in Towash moved to Whitney Texas. All that was left was the Baptist church which was reported to be the oldest Baptist church in Hill County TX. In the 1940's the pulpit and pews were moved from the old church into the new church in Whitney, and it church still exists today.
