Operation
The Corps, in accordance with the 1936 dedication, operated a park on the site until 1982 at which time Hill County was forced to enter into a lease for the property or lose this culturally significant resource. The citizens of the County were again called upon to maintain the site, and did so until 2002. In 2002 the Corps came before the County demanding that a minimum of $60,000 be spent for the revitalization of the area. Hill County did not have sufficient funds, and thus relinquished the lease.

Famous quotes containing the word operation:
“You may read any quantity of books, and you may almost as ignorant as you were at starting, if you don’t have, at the back of your minds, the change for words in definite images which can only be acquired through the operation of your observing faculties on the phenomena of nature.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“An absolute can only be given in an intuition, while all the rest has to do with analysis. We call intuition here the sympathy by which one is transported into the interior of an object in order to coincide with what there is unique and consequently inexpressible in it. Analysis, on the contrary, is the operation which reduces the object to elements already known.”
—Henri Bergson (1859–1941)
