The contributing organizations and agencies at the time included: the
Ft. Worth Streams and Valleys Committee, the Sid W. Richardson Foundation,
the Amon G. Carter Foundation, Texas Electric Service Company, Tarrant
County Water Control District No. 1, The City of Ft. Worth, and Tarrant
County Commissioners Court among others. The ultimate construction of
this project was due to almost 80% of the funds generated by private
donations. Ft. Worth has a long history of preservation and generous
benefactors contributing to the development of its current design.
