Simmons, Chairwoman of the Heritage Committee, made �.. the following report: The Heritage Committee of the Bicentennial Observance respectfully submits the following recommendations: l. That places within the area which are deserving of historical markers be searched out and so marked if possible. 2. That some consideration be given to the revival of the designation of Grapevine Springs as a point of historical significance. 3. That special ef�ort be exerted toward the improve- ment, maintenance and encouragement of the further development of the present museum. 4. That the old jail be moved to be placed alongside the present museum. 5. That school students be motivated by contests to write historical essays. 6. That prizes be offered for paint_ings of certain old homes or businesses in the area. 7. That the park in which the museum is located be designated as a historical park. 8. That the historical park be named Campground Park. This designation so made by reason of the fact that studies made _by Mr. Young show this to be an area for camping by early settlers treking across this par� of Texas. . � � 9.
