Gates of Hercules
CRAPE MYRTLE9th and Broad Streets (Harold Jones Park)
As a work of public art, it has seldom been appreciated. When this 12-foot, enamel-on-iron sculpture was commissioned to commemorate the city’s centennial and installed in 1982, a furor arose over both the representation of the hearty North Texas’ Crape Myrtle and the New York artist chosen to do so. Much of the local citizenry were unnerved by the statue’s $100,000 price tag, though half of the money came from the National Endowment for the Arts with the other half from local taxes. In time, however, this sculpture has become a shady place for visitors to sit and a cheerful place for children to play.
GATES OF HERCULESTaft Boulevard and Nocona Trail (MSU Campus)
This impressive sculpture was completed in commemoration of MSU’s 75th Anniversary. Each limestone block weighs 5,000 pounds! Created by Sandi Stein of Fairview, Texas.
THE SUN WATCHERCouncil Drive and Wigwam Trail (MSU Campus)
Another of Jack Stevens’ phenomenal sculptures.
WEE-CHI-TAH SCULPTURE500 block of Wichita St.
By local artist Jack Stevens, this is one of America’s largest sculptures that features the First Nation of America. This marvelous life-sized sculpture features a Comanche family crossing the Wichita River. The actual legend of their crossing defines where Wichita got its name. This multi-part artwork is of a woman, her child, two braves, their horses and a colt set in the natural beauty of rock and flowing water. The woman is testing the river’s depth, as the legend tells, and describes it is “waist-deep,” which is how “wee-chi-tah” is translated.

LIBERTY BELLTaft and Hampstead (front lawn of Hardin Building on MSU Campus)
An exact replica of the Liberty Bell — from the inscriptions to the crack — was donated to Midwestern State University by community members Aurora and Phil Bolin. The bell itself stands 42-3/16 inches high, has a diameter of 44-1/2 inches and weighs 2,050 pounds. Cast in bronze, this amazing piece was handcrafted by a company in France.

HiddenTREASURESHISTORIC HOLT HOTEL600 8th St.
Originally known as the Kemp-Kell building, this was the first of many skyscrapers built downtown. As business interests grew, it was sold in 1926 to George Holt, entrepreneur and hotelier and H.S Ford, a theatre man. Holt and Ford turned the building into a state-of-the-art hotel with parlors, suites, radios and even conditioned air. The community drew people from around the world, many seeking fortunes in the booming oil business. In its time the Holt played host to many notable guests, including Eleanor Roosevelt and even Sally Rand, the world famous fan dancer. The recent restoration into upscale loft apartments boasts 100% occupancy

One of the most historically and architecturally significant buildings in Wichita Falls, this museum features original family furnishings, textiles, decorative arts and historic costumes.

force behind the growth of the city, moved to Wichita Falls in 1896 at the urging of his
brother-in-law, Joseph Kemp. The two men were involved in the grain industry, development of Lake Wichita, utility companies, newspaper, streetcar system, railroad, the local college and more! In 1909, Mr. Kell purchased land overlooking downtown and built a home for his family. Purchased and restored by the Wichita County Heritage Society, it opened as a museum in 1981. Open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday 10 a.m. - 3 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday 2 p.m. - 4 p.m. Free Admission.

LITTLEST SKYSCRAPER701 LaSalle St.
In 1919, Wichita Falls was a crowded place. While area businessmen enjoyed the first of several oil booms, offices were located wherever space could be found, and “coat pocket” business addresses were as common as those of bricks and mortar. Investors practically stood in line to buy stock in a construction project proposed by a Philadelphia building engineer, a tenant of the Newby Hotel, a man whose name has been lost to history. He probably was a genuine building engineer or he could never have presented his $200,000 project so convincingly! Contracts were signed, money changed hands and construction began on the lot next door to the clever visionary’s hotel address. Trouble was, none of the investors seemed to notice that the Philadelphian’s blueprints, which called for dimensions in square feet, were actually executed in square inches until after the property, still standing after 80-plus years, was finished. By then, the Easterner had long checked out of the hotel, taking the bulk of his ill-gotten $200,000 along with him. The Littlest Skyscraper is now home to a new antique and collectible store, Artifact Emporium.
MEMORIAL AUDITORIUM1300 7th St. 940-716-5500 • wfmpec.com
The last area Indian battle had been fought only 10 years before on the bluff where Memorial Auditorium now stands. Memorial Auditorium, built in the late 1920s, seats

In the early days, Will Rogers twirled ropes performing on stage along with Louis Armstrong, Elvis Presley, Duke Ellington, Ethel Barrymore, Helen Keller, Gene Autry and Bob Hope.

WICHITA RIVER TRAILS
This trail system has 4.37 miles of connected trails stretching along the Wichita River from Lucy Park to Williams Park. It is also connected to 1.55 miles of the Holliday Creek trails. Starting in Lucy Park, you can travel all the way to Lake Wichita and back, 28.76 miles roundtrip. Along the way you’ll find some of the most beautiful scenery in the city. Wildlife such as white-tailed deer, squirrels, and all kinds of birds can often be seen. Bridges are a consistent theme along the Wichita River Trails. The railroad bridge that crosses the river near Scott Street is the oldest functional railroad bridge in the United States on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe system! The “Wee-Chi-Tah” sculpture can be seen across the river near the site of the original falls.
HOLLIDAY CREEK TRAILS
This trail system stretches from Lake Wichita to Williams Park and follows Holliday Creek. Trail goers, whether biking, skating, skateboarding, running or walking, can presently travel from Lake Wichita Park to Williams Park, covering 10.01 miles where it connects with the Wichita River Trail System. There’s quite a view in all directions from atop the Lake Wichita spillway. At the base there’s a park-like area with vehicle parking.

WEE-CHI-TAH TRAIL940-322-3223 weechita.org
The Wee-Chi-Tah Trail is a 13-mile off road trail that starts at Berend’s Landing (by the Wee-Chi-Tah Sculpture), and travels west along the north side of the Wichita River into the Lucy Park area. Primarily used for hiking, mountain biking and running, the trail is an all-natural surface. It offers the challenges of short steep climbs and drops along with other obstacles that you would find on a native Texas trail. It was named the “Best Urban Off Road Trail in Texas” by the Subaru Trail Doctors with Texas Parks and Wildlife. The trail is wild so we caution that you enjoy it, but at your own risk!

The winding street system, large yards with deep setback homes, and buffer plantings to the north, west, and east of the area also help define the neighborhood. Other contributing sites are the green space known as Morningside Park and a scenic pond in the eastern portion of the neighborhood.
COUNTRY CLUB ESTATES
Roughly bounded by Taft, Midwestern Parkway, the Wichita Falls Country Club and Speedway. Touring this neighborhood is a trip into an era when “oil” reigned supreme …when it was possible for the poorest to become millionaires overnight.
These homes and their stories express this wealth of Wichita Falls in the early 1900s. The unique features inside many of these residences are unbelievable. They include: a hydraulically operated observatory so the owners could open their roof to gaze at the stars; one home, patterned after the White House, is 10,000 sq. ft. and has seven marble fireplaces; another is 15,000 sq. ft., has a hidden balcony and nine fireplaces. Its many colorful stories include those of Howard Hughes, Hollywood and of course, politics.
WEST FLORAL HEIGHTS HISTORIC DISTRICT
Wichita Falls Landmark Historical District
Bounded by Avenue H, Buchanan Street, Garfield and The Morningside Historic District. This district was the location of the first street car tracks that connected its residents with the thriving commercial businesses downtown. In 1909, Joseph
Kemp and his wife, Flora bought the entire block between Ninth and Tenth streets, between Grant and Tilden to build a three-story house they occupied for many years. There was considerable building in 1910 and 1911 as Mr. Kemp offered loans for building houses, if the lots were paid for. The neighborhood is one of the first suburban residential areas to be developed outside of the central business area of the city. Representative of the early residential development of the city of Wichita Falls during the first half of the century, West Floral Heights associated the broad patterns of the community’s history. Comprised of a distinctive and sizable collection of intact early 20th century suburban architecture, the West Floral Heights Historic District is architecturally significant. A wide variety of residential architectural styles from circa 1910 through 1945 are represented in the historic district. The district also retains many of its original design features, including brick streets and alleys, block sidewalks, and original spatial landscape orientation, as well as its original layout.
