Thanks to everyone who has helped to make the
Millerstown Park a reality. Because of an extremely
generous bequest from a late resident, and also countless
weeks, months and years of very hard work, hours of
meetings, state grants, and very kind donations of time,
materials and money, it is wonderful to see how the park
has really taken shape and form.
