Well, I went down to the state historical society, being the state capital, it’s right here in town. Went through all their material, including researching the newspapers. They had this great newspaper collection, went through all the newspapers. And Gage Park was established in 1901, I believe, Guilford Gage had a farm outside of town. And now it’s courts and cities all surrounding it. And he gave that farm property to the city and people had to take the street car out to, then they called it Gage Park. And there was a pond there. And in 1912, that’s 1912 is the first reference to any type of wildlife that people could come and look at.
