Trivia

Newly constructed facility opened in Fall 2013.
Hill County was named for Dr. George Washington Hill, who was appointed by Sam Houston as secretary of war under the Republic of Texas in 1843.
Rich farmland, adequate rainfall and favorable temperature contribute to a culture of farming and cultivating in the area.
The agricultural look of the safety rest area facility; with barn-like structures, grain silos, and windmills; is a tribute to the local farming history.
