Webb-Crownover Cabin Completion

The Lawrence Outdoor Classroom now has a trailhead. The reconstruction of the Webb-Crownover cabin is complete down to the bronze plaque and it is a fitting trailhead for our wonderful nature trail. Historic Mesquite, Inc. is so grateful for funding by the Mesquite Rotary Club for the cabin. With the nature trail and signage complete and the cabin reconstructed, HMI is looking forward to developing a plan for the amphitheater at the end of the trail. Once plans are in place for the amphitheater, work will begin to seek funding for the final piece of the Lawrence Outdoor Classroom.

Beautiful Snow!

There was LOTS of interest in our properties during the recent snow. Many people offered photos of the houses but these are a few of my favorites. I hope you enjoy them, too.

Florence Ranch Homestead Bell Tower

The bell tower was installed last Friday and is still a work in progress. The bolts are being epoxied and tightened and the tower will be painted before the bell is actually installed. Can't wait to hear that bell ring for the first time......in many, many years!

Lawrence Outdoor Classroom....LOC

Work is progressing on the life size lincoln log project in spite of the rain. It's so good to see this cabin out of storage and being reassembled to serve as the trailhead of the LOC nature trail. The cabin should be complete in a couple of weeks in time for our spring school tours.

New Eastern Red Cedars

We have gorgeous new trees planted at the Opal Lawrence Historical Park. Take a look as you drive by the park.
