More than a hundred people turned out to Lowell City Hall Thursday to oppose the paving of a small section of North Old Wire Road between Lowell and Rogers. Residents provided numerous reasons for wanting to keep the road as it is, one of them was the area’s historical significance, which includes ties to the Trail of Tears, the Butterfield Overland Stage Coach Route and the Civil War.
