The heritage and natural beauty of Castalian Springs is about to face its biggest threat yet.
Historical land trusts monuments such as Bledsoe Lick Historical Park, General Bates home, The Parker Cabin, The Rogan Irish stone cabin, The Bledsoe cemetery, Wynnewood and the Indian burial mound sight. All will be neighbors with The Hoover quarry Industrial complex.
The state and federal government are in the process of spending approximately six million dollars to reconstruct Wynnewood from tornado damage sustained three years ago. The state recently acquired the General Bate home; both homes are within less than a 1000 yards of the industrial sights. This planned industrial development will decimate a large area of land and produce chemical bi-products that will infiltrate the life, habitat, and historic buildings of an area known for its productive farmland and peaceful way of life.
When my late husband, Tom Mabrey helped established the Bledsoe Lick Historical Park, he envisioned a place of beauty and tranquility where people could enjoy the out of doors and a sense of history and time.
Let us stand together to preserve the historical significance of this area and to protect the ecological environment of Castalian Springs. Please speak up:

In Tom Mabrey's own words:
"Will they be children lost in time and
space, No history...no special place.
Few there are who understand...
Yesterday was once tomorrow's plan."
Respectfully,
Carrie D. Mabrey
