Phenix is an old ghost town whose primary purpose was to provide labor for marble and limestone mining. In its heyday, the town had a library, an orchestra, theaters, and a church with a full-time minister. Today, an operating quarry still includes a couple of old lime kilns and a sturdy old building made of local stone. A fun historical fact: Bonnie Parker of the infamous Bonnie and Clyde attended elementary school here.

Built in 1837, this site is home to the preservation of the original estate of Nathan Boone, the youngest son of legendary pioneer Daniel Boone.

Ritter Springs Park is the terminus for the Fulbright Spring Greenway. The trails here are not always marked clearly, so bring navigation if riding beyond the paved Scott Road. The park has restrooms, playground equipment, benches, picnic tables, barbecue grills, a small lake, a pavilion, and even a sand volleyball court and archery range. The bridge over the small spillway is a popular spot for photos. There is also a small cave at the north end of the park.

Along with grassy nature trails, the Fulbright Spring Greenway runs through the middle of Ritter Springs Park.
