It looks like this was a roadside park at one time, now just a grass area, neatly kept, with circular gravel drive entering and exiting. Research seems to indicate this was once a US Highway.

Marker Text: THE CHISHOLM TRAILBetween 1867 and 1876 more than two million Texas Longhorns were driven North past here to Kansas railroad towns for shipment East. At Slate Creek Crossing 5 miles northeast a trading post, 1869, was the first building in Sumner County. Over this trail after it was closed to cattle came many of the pioneers who settled Western part of the County.
