History in
a Pecan Shell
This is the site of the McDonald Massacre of 1864.
A historic marker is just south of 290 and just west of the park
tells the story. This incident involved the Kiowas who kidnapped
five family members and killed two. Not a massacre by Hollywood
standards, but it was certainly distressing to the McDonald family.
The family was reunited after the Kiowas exchanged them near the
Oklahoma border.
