Update on Living History Park
Revised conceptual plan presentedProposedPlanning Director presented a revised conceptual plan for Living History Park (fronting on Madison Street and Shipyard Road). The original extensive plan was condensed due to discovery of more wetlands than anticipated during surveys and environmental assessment. The revised plan maintains all originally planned exhibits (Dr. Wahl's house, schoolhouse, museum, exhibits of old turpentine mill and sawmill, medicinal garden, gazebo with house model) but in a smaller, condensed area with shorter walking trails. Phase 2 will include a children's playground area on Shipyard Road with vintage-style equipment and parking. Planning Director will work with Rudy Mall on moving the schoolhouse to the property.
