(ROCKWALL-May 13, 2013) In 1851, while trying to dig a water well, three settlers unearthed a mysterious underground rock wall, for which the City of Rockwall was named. Over the years, there has been much debate about whether the formation is natural or man-made.
On Saturday, May 18, the Rockwall County Historical Foundation will offer a rare opportunity for community members to get a glimpse of the rock wall, as part of the city of Rockwall’s Founder’s Day Celebration.
A section of the rock will be unearthed and open for public viewing at a local farm.
Advance tickets are available at the Museum at 901 E. Washington during regularly open hours on Wednesday. Any remaining tickets will be sold at the Foundation’s table, located at the southwest corner of the square, at Rusk and Goliad. Seating is limited and a shuttle will leave the Museum parking lot every 30 minutes. You will not want to miss this opportunity to view the rock wall!
