Andrews Sisters Trail

LaVerne, Maxene, and Patty, the famous Andrews Sisters, spent most of their youthful summers growing up in Mound.  Thanks mainly to the efforts of Tom Rockvam, the City of Mound has dedicated a portion of the Greenway to the Andrews Sisters which is now known as the Andrews Sisters Trail.  For additional information regarding the Andrews Sisters, you can visit the official web site located at  www.cmgworldwide.com/music/andrews/index.php.
