Grapevine Springs Park – Houston campsite

We keep an eye on houses, but we would have checked on campsites too, especially that of Republic of Texas President Sam Houston.  He and his team visited the Coppell area in late July of 1843 and camped here at Grapevine Springs Park.  We’re a little late to protect Houston, but we can keep watch on the very tree they camped beneath.

The Coppell Historical Society has lots of information about President Houston’s visit.   Click here for more info.
