Paul Goodloe McIntire (18601952) commissioned in 1921 the statue of General Thomas Jonathan (Stonewall) Jackson from Charles Keck. He gave the statue and this park to Charlottesville, the city of his birth, for the pleasure of all who pass by.
The regeneration of this park is dedicated in loving admiration to Mary Frazier Cash 19031971 by her friends and family. Her leadership in community affairs and good government, her infinite tolerance and her hopes for protection of our heritage remain indelibly inspiring.
Erected 1972 by The Civic League of Charlottesville and Albemarle County.
