Once again I am cutting and pasting a small portion of a 1905 map of the Franklin Park area in order to enhance the information in the the 1924 article wherein Franklin Park was formally dedicated by Trenton town fathers.

ReplyDeleteI image the Franklin Park I played
in as a kid had been remade or updated once or twice (1970s).
I doubt if the Rocket at the north
end of the park dated from 1924.
I remember a water fountain near
the boulder.
Both the Rocket and the Fountain
are now long gone.
The boulder now has 2 plaques on it
,one has been added with Palmers
name on it for the most recent
update. Franklin Park & Wetzel
Field were an easy walk from our
home in the Burg. How lucky we
were long ago:)
