Fernland Park

The oldest house in this old town

Is Quite an amazing place.

Because inside the house sits the old town

That time cannot erase

The park that holds this house is really cool

You will find the park behind the school.

     After walking around Memory Park I found another hidden park in the back. This one was called Fernland Park. In my time machine I put the date 2010. That is the date the park was created. I started going faster and faster and then, in the blink of an eye I was in early Montgomery.

     In 1991, Mr. and Mrs. Thorpe donated a couple of the oldest houses still built, to Sam Houston University. The University brought the buildings to Montgomery in 2010. One house is the Arnold Simonton house. It was built in 1845 E.J. Arnold and his wife. Shortly before that E.J. Arnold moved here from Connecticut in the 1830's.

     The Park is now located by Memory Park and the library.
