1. History of Maxwell Park Marker

Inscription. In 2005, former long-time Cardington Mayor Cecil Maxwell and wife Kathryn donated 32 acres of their Whetstone riverfront land to the Village of Cardington for a park. The Maxwell's vision was for a park that all youth and citizens of Cardington could use and enjoy for hiking, fishing, picnicking, sports, and time together with family.

Their inspiration was that users would appreciate the beauty of the large bend in the Whetstone River near the Maxwell's former Riverside Dairy.

Today, Maxwell Park has been developed to achieve this vision and for all to enjoy for generations to come.

Erected by Jeanne Vaughan.
