Donated in 1963
Smith Memorial Park was originally the fruit farm of Leon Smith, who desired that many should enjoy this beautiful lakeside haven. When offered $250,000 for the property, Mr. Smith decided against profit and donated the orchard to the Town so many generations can enjoy the lake he grew up on.
