an educational and cultural venue,
the Cooper Lake Center; being built
on 122 acres at Cooper Lake. The project
is in cooperation with the Corps of Engineers
and Texas Parks & Wildlife
Department and the location is sub-leased.
The site will be the home of a 1,500 seat
amphitheater, an education center, a restored
log house from the mid-1800s, a farm depicting
mid-1800
and early 1900 agriculture methods and
buildings and a native American village.
The remainder of the Center property will

and demonstration plantings including one
or more nature trails. The common thread
running throughout the project is NATURE.
