I always learn the best information from the best sources! Today, we had a Chamber gathering of men and women that I have admired and learned from through the years. It is always such a treasured time for me. I sat with Essie and Sandra (Givens), and they are full, just full of Plainview history and stories. What fun to listen to them share!
I have shared many stories about Plainview Lake. From the pigs used to cement the lake to the passenger's first view of the Athens of the Plains, as Plainview was called.
Today, I heard about the Plainview Lake bathhouse. The visitors to the lake first used the bathhouse pool before entering the lake. It is the white square building in the background here. What remains today is this...
We may not have the Plainview Lake bring tourists in, but the Canada Geese love it!
So many people who know these stories are willing to share. We must get them while we can! I know the June Wells, and the Ramona and J.B. Roberts of Plainview have worked tirelessly to gather stories together. There are many more stories to hear!
