A blocked off city street (College St.) ran between the park and the train tracks, and was in the process of being torn up when I visited the site.

I can find very little printed about this neat place, maybe it is to new to be recorded as a spot of interest.

"A gathering spot, the square once had a fenced area and an artesian well for the livestock near the present gazebo. An effort is underway to reestablish the green space that is now a parking lot as a renewed gathering place for residents and visitors. The well has been capped but still exists and some residents would like to have it reopened." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
