The group intent on mapping a Polk County Heritage Trail took a bit of a detour at their second meeting Wednesday. But it was a worthy segue.
The recently-formed task force of historians and tourism stakeholders are making an inventory of historical and ecological sites in Polk County. Their goal is to make these sites accessible and attractive to tourists and locals alike.
