Thank you to all who greeted us with “Good Morning and Happy Fourth of July!”  It was great to see such a fabulous turnout of friends and neighbors as we celebrated the history of our nation’s independence.

Check back often to learn about upcoming events.  Next on the calendar is the long awaited unveiling of the Puritas Springs Park historic marker.  Join us on Sunday, August 30th and be a part of West Park History!  Details will be posted soon.

 Two ways to cool off on July 4th.

Peppermint Puffs and Hand Fans !

The West Park Historical Society joins the West Park Independence Day Parade this Saturday – starting at 9:30 a.m.  We will be handing out candy with a history all its own. Red Bird Peppermint Puffs have been hand crafted in the U.S.A. since 1890!

A limited number of hand fans will be distributed as well.  Keep them HANDy for those hot summer days.

This happy Hooley visitor was presented with a free West Park Historical Society coloring book!

Thank you to everyone who visited us at the 2015 Hooley and took the time to share your history.

Another big thanks to all who purchased our publications.  We are certain that you enjoyed reading them.  Be sure to contact us for other books to complete your West Park collection.
