Text of the plaque:
As the city's first official park, Major's Hill was a favourite place for people to stroll or picnic and seemed destined, even then, to become an important green space.
"It is now a very pleasant place of summer resort, which our citizens could ill afford to be without."
Daily Citizen, September 30, 1882.
