Grapevine Main plaza, observation tower to open this spring

Another key feature of the plaza will be life-size bronze statues of 10 indigenous chiefs and Sam Houston during their August 1843 meeting to sign the Treaty of Birds Fort at Grape Vine Springs, also known as Tah-Wah-Karro Creek in modern-day Grapevine. The art installation, known as the Peace Circle, is the creation of Grapevine artist Linda Lewis. It is expected to be completed by this fall.

“It's meaningful, especially when you think [about] what 2020 gave us,” Roberts said. “When you think about the words 'unity' and 'friendship' and 'peace,' it's going to be special to embrace.”

The $114 million Grapevine Main project broke ground in 2018. The station’s architecture is meant to be reminiscent of American 19th-century rail stations.

“What's neat about Grapevine Main Station is you take the rich history and the charm of what makes Grapevine, and then, you merge it with new modern experiences,” Roberts said.
