Rumors that a wrought iron fence would be erected around the site and visitors would be charged admission attracted opposition from more than a dozen Grapevine residents at a Feb. 7 City Council meeting.
Paul W. McCallum, executive director of the Convention and Visitors Bureau, calmed fears by dispelling rumors about admission fees and explaining that the fence, which will be appropriate to the time period, would be a necessary addition if plans to add livestock to the farm move forward.
Next week's meeting, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. March 29 at the Founder's Building, 701 S. Main St., will provide information on the site plan, parking and fencing options being considered by the foundation and committee.
