The Bledoes Lick Historical Association has worked to preserve the Wynnewood State Historic Site and other sites including several important historical buildings, landmarks and historical sites: Wynnewood, the original mineral springs and lick; Thomas Sharp Spencer monument, and portions of the Castalian Springs Mound Site -- a native American town dating to A.D. 1250.

In 1992, the Association expanded its preservation efforts to include the development of Bledsoe's Fort Historical Park -- a nearly 80-acre county park which includes: the archaeological location of Isaac Bledsoe's 1780 fort and the restored Nathanial Parker cabin. (More..)

Named for the mineral springs and licks so prominent in regional history and prehistory, the Association has operated, managed, and preserved Wynnewood State Historic Site. --------
