Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

Materials (1975-1990), in this small collection cover the life of the Hixon Forest Trail Committee thoroughly until about 1987 when the records become rather sparse. Materials include committee administration records such as correspondence (1976-1987), which documents much activity between the committee and outside administrative influences and cooperating organizations; finance (1976-1989), which contains very few materials; general records (1978-1986), which includes lists of committee members as well as memos and Chamber of Commerce materials; meeting minutes (1975-1990), probably the most complete and informative group of materials regarding the committee's activities; and resolutions (1976-1988), which contains copies of resolutions pertaining to the committee and the trails of Hixon Forest.

Other materials include general correspondence (1980-1987), which contains a few letters from citizens regarding the trail system; historical materials, which include general materials (1976-1989) and newspaper clippings (1975-1984). A fairly good general history of Hixon Forest and the trail system can be gleaned from these materials. Photos and slides (1976-1985) contains just a few images of the trails and some of the volunteers that worked on them. Most of these images are not dated. The last two groups of materials, trail maintenance and trail maps, give a lot of information about the trails and the continual work done on them. They include plans of work and work reports as well as aerial maps of the area and hand drawn trail maps.
