Harker Heights Discusses Historic Trail Preservation

On Tuesday, Harker Heights officials discussed the possibility of dedicating four of five of the southernmost acres of the city to recreation and preservation of Bell County heritage.

One item discussed was a half-mile trail circulating through various replicas, such as a Conestoga wagon, and Indian cave dwelling, and Camp Hood. Children would be able to interact with life-size exhibits.

Officials also hope to incorporate a plan tying history in with nature.

Various aspects of the plan, such as vandalism concerns, commercialization, and construction of an amphitheater were also debated.
