McWhirter Park

 

G. F. & Audrey McWhirter City Park
In recognition of their generosity, Flatonia citizens dedicated this City park to Audrey and George F. McWhirter. The McWhirters greatly contributed to the completion of the park and are committed to the improvement of the quality of life for all citizens. McWhirter Park will serve generations to come and will be a lasting tribute to the McWhirter family.
