On March 10, 2021, Austin’s Wooldridge Square, 900 Guadalupe St., was one of eight Texas parks honored with designation as a Lone Star Legacy Park by the Texas Recreation and Parks Society in a ceremony at the association’s annual institute in the town of Frisco.
A Lone Star Legacy Park is a park that holds special prominence in the local community and the state of Texas. To qualify for consideration, the park must have endured the test of time and become iconic to those who have visited, played, and rested on its grounds. Nominated parks must be a minimum of 50 years old and meet criteria related to historic, architectural, and natural significance.
The Log Cabin Village is Now The Home To Bald Eagles
As the holiday time period of Christmas to New Year s Day progresses, many people are wondering just what can we do today? Well, I have the perfect way to spend part an afternoon...visit the Log Cabin Village on Quinsippi Island in Quincy.
Speaking of spending, there is no spending needed to stop by and enjoy history right in front of your eyes. Every time I go there I am amazed at how our pioneers ever survived the frigid winters of the past.
As an added bonus, the Herald Whig recently reported that the Log Cabin Village has become inhabited by bald eagles. So pick out a decent day and head down to the riverfront and absorb what mother nature and our nation s history has to offer and it is all free.
