May 2 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
On May 2, our chapter has the opportunity to take a guided tour of this beautiful park! We will meet our docents at 10am at the main (north) gate at the George W Bush Presidential Center at 2843 SMU Blvd in Dallas. Guests are invited to participate, including children. The drive is approximately two hours from Quitman. Contact Linda Mahony (972-467-3624) for carpool information and to RSVP.
The tour should be concluded by noon, after which the participants can choose to go into the library or to meet for lunch at La Madeleine restaurant at 3072 Mockingbird Lane.
While the tour is free, going into the George W. Bush Presidential Library will cost $23 for seniors. Within the library, you can see things such as a full-size replica of the Oval Office, a lot of baseball memorabilia, and a piece of steel from the World Trade Center can be seen. The native plantings around the George W. Bush Presidential Library were designed and planted on what was once parking lot abutted to US-75 on the campus of Southern Methodist University. Three of the state’s 10 ecoregions meet in Dallas and are represented in the park: Post Oak Savannah, Cross Timbers Forest, and Blackland Prairie.
RSVP REQUIRED: If you would like to RSVP to attend, please contact us. Once we receive your RSVP, we will email you the REQUIRED liability release form which must be signed before participating. Be sure to mark your calendars! For more information about the Laura Bush Native Texas Park in Dallas, click HERE.
