GPRC Youth InterACTION Fort Worth kids will travel to the Fort Parker site in Limestone County, TX
GPRC Youth InterACTION Fort Worth kids will travel to the Fort Parker site in Limestone County, TX Saturday November 15th, where Cynthia Ann Parker was born, and taken from her Anglo family to live with the Comanches. (Cynthia Ann is the namesake of GPRC’s new 12,000 acre project in West Texas).
On Saturday we will learn and understand the start of Cynthia Ann’s story, the frontier Anglo presence on the tallgrass Blackland Prairie (now almost extinct), and the Black slave/ (and rare freedmen) presence too on this once fertile, wild Texas area. Youth will see how the story arc continues out to our Cynthia Ann Parker Wilderness Recovery Project 200 miles northwest of Fort Worth, where they have begun active restoration.
