William H. Hamblen Drive Exhibit- "From Buffalo Trail to State Highway"
William H. Hamblen Drive Exhibit- "From Buffalo Trail to State Highway"
William Henry Hamblen was a pioneer with a purpose, a trail blazer, literally. This exhibit chronicles Mr Hamblen's persistence, with no formal training in road building, to forge a usable automobile road that safely traverses the Palo Duro Canyon where none existed except Native American trails. This road connected remote communities, boosting trade and opening the way for the Texas state highway 207 to come into existence, widely known as one fo the most scenic drives in the Lone Start State.
