Description
On August 10, 2016 the City of Selma, Texas will celebrate the grand opening of the John S. Harrison City Park & Historic Site. John Harrison, along with his brother-in-law William McCulloch established the Harrison & McCulloch Stage line in 1850 and maintained a stage stop as a part of the operation which is located at IH-35 and Evans Road. The Harrison property is listed as a State Archaeological Landmark and the house is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. The August opening of the farm complex represents the completion of the second in a four phase development process. The park phase opened in April of 2015; a hike/bike trail connecting the Harrison Park with the existing Stage Stop Park and development of the remaining four acres will follow. The official ceremony will begin at 9:30 A.M. on August 3rd, followed by a tour of the grounds. For additional information call Steve Jones, Development Manager, 210-643-3862.
