Heritage
Hill Place is located just east of the city of Comanche in Comanche County.
The terrain is rolling prairie land edged with
native woodlands and dry creek beds. From the top of a central hill, there is a
view for miles in all directions.
Since
its acquisition in the early 1950's, this has primarily been an
Angus cattle ranch with hay produced to support the livestock.
Wildlife
is plentiful and includes whitetail deer, turkey, quail and dove. It is a good
spot to enjoy nature, including butterfly and bird watching and wildflower walks.
The
sandy hillside continues to relinquish arrowheads and other
evidences of the native peoples who traveled here.
The
land is noted to be a part of the Jo Hardin land scam of the 1870's
that likely contributed to his hanging at the hands of an angry mob.
