The David S. Lynch Memorial Park was transformed from estate to park in 1943 making the park what we know today. But there is so much more history rooted in the park that dates back to the time of Woodbury’s Point and the Revolutionary War. This pictorial lecture of Lynch Park will look to the past to uncover the history, the landscape, and ownership, and its total evolution during the last 250 years.
