Durand Eastman Park: Yesterday and Today
The Park was Durand’s idea. Join us to hear about the fascinating life of Henry Durand, his relationship with George Eastman, and the much deeper, unexpected and shocking twist that occurs once they donate their land to the City of Rochester. Durand Eastman Park takes on a life of its own in the years that follow. A tree museum, a beach house, a zoo, a golf course and the "White Lady" ghost helped create the Park that Dr. Durand had envisioned: "world class."
Presented by Jack Butler. Jack co-authored Mendon Ponds Park, Fairchild's Dream with Diane Ham in 2023. Raised in Irondequoit, Jack decided to next research the origins of Durand Eastman Park. Its amazing history and promising future has resulted in his colorful 2024 publication of Durand Eastman Park: Yesterday and Today.
