Abstract:

Cedar Grove, a plantation built in 1839, was John Small's summer home. Union troops burned the house and outbuildings during the Civil War. Later in 1904, plans were developed to build a neighborhood along the park's half-a-mile of river shoreline that became known as Washington Park. Wilder's article, illustrated with historic photographs, recounts the history of the community.
