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
