Then and Now

November 20, 2025 the West Park Historical Society held a “members only” event at the Sherman House. 

It was a slideshow titled “West Park: Then and Now” showing over 50 photos from the 1800s through current times. We had a spirited discussion as audience participation was encouraged and members reminisced about the places shown in the photos!

Historic Marker Dedication and Anniversary Celebration

Many thanks to all who were with us to witness our historic marker unveiling! If you did not have a chance to be with us that day, we hope you will take a moment to stop and read the marker. Be sure to look at both sides! Easy street parking on West 194th.

We were very pleased so many of you joined us for our anniversary celebration at The Terrace at Big Met Grille.
