Grinnell Park


This bridge and pond lie in Grinnell Park in the historic center of Sudbury. I think most of us refer to it as Memorial Park. It's a very small parcel of land which belonged to Henry Ford. A store once stood at this spot but in 1929, Henry moved it to Marlborough. It is still doing business as the Country Store. In 1931, the town Planning Board decided to locate a World War Memorial here because it would beautify the Town Center and eliminate "detrimental" building. The maintenance and upkeep of the park is an ongoing project of the Thursday Garden Club of Sudbury.

By the way, this is my 365th post on Sudbury Daily Photo. Thanks to all who continue to visit and comment. You have been my inspiration.

PS - are you affected by the big snow storm? Snowed in for the holidays?

What's so great about this photo besides the subject matter and the snow is the light that kisses the ground in front and the trees in back!
