“Voices from Dean Highland”
The neighborhood association in conjunction with Baylor University is working to interview people from our neighborhood to collect stories and history of the Dean Highland area. These recorded interviews will be preserved by the Texas collections at Baylor so that we can remember the people and history of this neighborhood for generations to come. If you would like to be interviewed, please contact Brandon Christensen.

Historic Trolley Stop
We received a grant in 2023 from the City of Waco to improve the historic Trolley Stop on 28th and Trice. With this grant, we were able to put new benches in and a marker. In 2024, we have received another grant to place a historical marker at this location describing the trolly stop history. We plan to also invest in new landscaping at this spot.
