Pennsylvania Park
MEMORIALS and MARKERS

Photo Below: Pennsylvania Park in 1900 was called the Cushman Park, faced by the Cushman House with its Annex which also housed the Post Office... Veteran Memorials had not yet been placed in the park. The Farragut Cannon shown in the next two photos below was placed in the park in 1905.

Pennsylvania Park Petoskey MI
Setting for Military Monuments ~ Memorials and Markers
~ Photos By Karla Howard Buckmaster ~

In 2013, the Pennsylvania Park setting for the Military Monuments is graced with towering old trees, many of them walnut trees which drop their fruit annually. In 1885 The Northern Independent (Harbor Springs Emmet County newspaper) wrote, in the article below, of a very special peach tree which had been planted, and had sprouted in Cushman Park (Name of the park previous to Pennsylvania Park). Does anyone know what happened to the peach tree?

Does anyone know where this memorial in the photo above was located? Is the building in the background on the right familiar? One suggested possibility was that it was first located in Pennsylvania Park, and later moved to the triangle park (Veteran Park) on West Mitchell Street across from Zion Lutheran Church. The memorial does not exist in 2013.
1949 ~ The Veteran Memorial was being taken down. In the photo below right Kroger, corner of Howard and Mitchell streets, is seen in the background
to give an orientation of the location of the memorial.
