A $15,000 grant from the Harrison County Community Foundation funded the construction of Logan’s Trail, connecting Mulberry Street to Rice Island.

The Doolittle section of the trail, connecting Highway 62 to the new YMCA, was constructed with a federal Department of Transportation grant and matching support from Harrison County, the Harrison County Convention and Visitors Bureau, and the Doolittle family.
