We are Reimagining Stop Six
One Corner at a Time.

The Land

This working-class African American neighborhood, once the sixth stop on the Northern Texas Traction Company line running between Dallas and Fort Worth, was originally known as Cowanville.*

The first resident, Amanda Davis, purchased one acre for her family in 1896, one generation after human enslavement was made illegal in the United States.

The Orchard rests on one acre of floodplain and prairie in this community affectionately called Stop Six, straddling the streets of RW Bivens and Booker T . Plans are underway to manage the cyclical flooding through rain gardening and improve the soil erosion and canopy gaps with native trees.

Our Mission

Our Vision

to ensure dignified and safe outdoor educational space and growing space for the 76105 community.

We have a generational goal of increasing the life expectancy in our zip code by 5 years.

A well resourced Fort Worth for all citizens regardless of ability, age or background. We will join a network of wrap around nature and people focused services that will support physical and emotional well being of our neighbors for decades to come.
