Comments
Walk Box is at Information Desk in gift shop. The current complex of 18 acres contains ten buildings and is divided between areas of natural woodland and landscaped spaces adjacent to the historic buildings. "Lake Oolooteka" is an artificial pond named in honor of Sam Houston's adoptive Cherokee Indian father. The lake was constructed in the shape of the state of Texas by the W.P.A. in 1936. The stone fence surrounding the park on 19 Street was also constructed by the W.P. A. Closed on most major holidays.
