A ROAD TRIP FROM COPPELL, TEXAS TO COPPELL, ONTARIO
Denison, Texas is the home of two important landmarks, the Katy Depot and also the birthplace of President Eisenhower. The town of Denison, Texas was named after George Denison who was a vice-president of the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad (called the Katy) when they built the "Katy Depot" there in 1872. Denison, Texas was also the birthplace of Dwight D. Eisenhower was a WWII General and the 34th President of the United States. He was born there on October 14th, 1890 where he lived for just 18 months before the family moved to Abilene, Kansas. (Not Abilene, Texas) While we were there to visit, we were lucky to meet Dr. Hayley Hasik with the Texas Historical Commission. She told us that she had received her PhD in History two months ago. Congratulations Hayley !!!!!!! If you want to learn about the history State of Texas, visit the Texas Historical Commission website.
