====Chisholm Trail Crossing Park====

To preserve the heritage of the famous crossing, a [[Chisholm Trail Crossing Park]] was developed to provide visitors with a simulated scene of Round Rock's historical role in the Chisholm cattle drive. Commemorative plaques in the park tell of the history of Round Rock. The bronze sculptures of four steers with pioneer woman Hattie Cluck and her son, Emmitt, were commissioned by the city through donations from Round Rock residents. The sculptures depict Round Rock's history as a crossing location along the Chisholm Trail.<ref>{{cite news |title=Recalling family connections along Round Rock's old Chisholm Trail |first=Edward |last=Torres |newspaper=Round Rock Leader |date=February 23, 2009 |url=http://www.rrleader.com/main.asp?Search=1&ArticleID=21022&SectionID=7&SubSectionID=7&S=1 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110715205750/http://www.rrleader.com/main.asp?Search=1&ArticleID=21022&SectionID=7&SubSectionID=7&S=1 |archive-date=July 15, 2011 }}</ref> The project plans include 18 to 20 additional bronze statues over time.
