Year: 2023
In September 2021, the Division of Recreation and Parks completed a redesign and installation of exhibitions in the Orientation Center of Meadow Farm Museum at Crump Park. These exhibitions focus heavily on the three cultures that have occupied the lands of Meadow Farm for thousands of years. The redesign culminated in a rededication of the building under the name “Parsons Community Center.” The renaming of the building focuses on an enslaved family and is now a space to foster conversations about history rather than the interpretation of history.
