Commission opts for markers at Stinson Trail

The Fulton Historic Preservation Commission is looking into dotting the Stinson Trail with historic markers.

So far, seven possible sites for markers along the trail have been identified. Member Judy Schaneman told the commission Tuesday that there may be more sites identified as she and member Jane Forsythe continue to investigate trail history and discuss the issue with Fulton Parks and Recreation. The two members previously visited with Barbara Huddleston of the Kingdom of Callaway Historical Society to come up with the first seven possible sites - Trestle Bridge, Ice House, Westminster Field, Memorial Park, Covered Bridge, Lover's Leap and Rock Barn. It was also discussed that signs would be posted on each trail head showing a map of the markers.

To help the tornado-stricken people of Dumas and surroundings, donations can be made to the Delta Area Disaster Relief Fund, care of the Delta Area Community Foundation, P.O. Box 894, Dumas, AR, 71639, or through the Arkansas Community Foundation, 700 S. Rock St., Little Rock, AR, 72202.
