Q7 pew We Seann Know All Men by These Presents that We, J. H. Grenville Gilbert and Grace B. Gilbert, both of Ware, County of Ilaznpsliire, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in consideration of one dollar and other valuable considerations paid by the inhabi- tants of the Town of Ware, do hereby renzise, release, and forever qnitclaiin nnto tl1e said inhabitants of the Town of lllare, a certain tract of land in said Ware . . . Futhernzore said premises are hereby conveyed by the grantors as a rneinorial to their deceased son, Grenvilleg and this conveyance is inade npon the strict condi- tions finvolving forfeiture in case of breachj: first, that the preniises hereby granted shall be forever used and at all times lcept and niaintained available for use as a public parkg . . . and third, that the same shall always be called Grenville Park. . . In witness whereof, we, the said f. H. Grenville Gilbert and Grace B. Gilbert, hereunto set our hands and seals this eighth clay of Mareli, in the year one thousand nine hundred and nine. Through the document from which the above quotation was taken beautiful Grenville Park came into our possession. Stretching a half mile from north to south between Church Street and the -Wlare River, the park may be entered by four massive but simple stone gateways, the most imposing of which is directly opposite the high school. Not a clay in the year passes, but some of the high school students enter one of these familiar gateways to while away a leisure hour or two. In the winter we may be carrying our skis or dragging a toboggan on our way to the hill near the old stove. In spring or summer we may be swinging a baseball bat or a tennis racquet, carrying a fish pole or walking with nothing else to do but admire the beautiful trees, the restful hills, and the river slipping,placidly past. However, if we could have stood on the site of the park two hundred fifty years ago, we should have been looking at a very different pictureg for then we might have seen a band of Indians crossing the river at the Narrows and proceeding through the park across what is now Highland Street. This marked the Hadley Trail, an Indian route which later became one of the main highways of travel, from east to west, through the Province of Massachusetts.
