Looking Back at Glen Echo Park in Stoughton

Here are some penny postcards from my personal collection.  These views show Glen Echo in the past, and give a glimpse of the rich history that this location in Stoughton still has to offer a century later.

There is a proposed Town Meeting article (article 55) to borrow $2,050,000 to purchase 97 acres of land known as the Glen Echo property. It is proposed that the majority of the purchased land would be under the care of Stoughton's Conservation Commission for "passive recreation purposes" (like nature walks), while about six acres would be under the control of the Board of Selectmen for "active and passive recreation purposes" like parking, ball fields, swimming, bathrooms and food service.
