Abilene: Preservation City

In the early part of Abilene's history, the citizens wanted to be a "brick city"--one showing permanence and substance. The Abilene Preservation League believes this spirit is even stronger now. We invite you to visit, and become involved in historic preservation.

The Swenson Gardens Allee being built



These guys were working all day today, preparing the way for the new South Lawn promenade from North 17th Street. Abilene High Senior Matt McLeod and about a dozen friends prepared the ground, laid the surface of decomposed granite and planted 10 white crepe myrtles. It's making the grounds of the Swenson House look even better! Thanks, Matt, it was a great example of your organizational ability, and a great Eagle project!
