This marker placed by the early day settlers is one of four at the entrance to Mineral Wells Park. The park is a very woodsy area, with numerous recreational facilities for families: duck pond, basketball court, tennis courts, children's playground, pavilion, and many picnic benches.
Mineral Wells Park is just south of Guthrie's historic/business district. It is on Division about a mile south of Highway 33 (Noble).
Text on marker:
