Saturday I went to a State Park not far from my house, I couldn't shoot as much as I wanted because the batteries were dead on my mobility scooter, when it gets a little cooler I think I'll go back, it is only $2.00 per person to get in. The park is called Mother Neff Park, one of the oldest parks in the state of Texas, the old Wind mill is just outside of the park on a old dirt road.

In 1921, Isabella Neff died. In her will, she donated six acres of her favorite spot to the State of Texas for a park. Since there was no official state park system, son Pat took charge. He developed Neff Memorial Park with campgrounds, picnic spots and walking trails.

After the State Parks Board became official in 1923, it began accepting private land into the state system. In 1934, Gov. Neff donated the family park, totaling 250 acres, to the state. His neighbor Frank Smith donated 3.5 acres. Mother Neff State Park officially opened in 1937.

Thanks for Looking!!!!
