PARK FACT:
The Meadow-25 acres of switchgrass, sesame grass, and bayberry shrubs just off Orchard Beach-is reminiscent of a mid-western prairie. The site was "created" by accident when topsoil was removed during the 1930s beach construction.

"The Boltons of Pelham Priory: A Cultural Legacy from England to America" celebrates the achievements of the Reverend Robert (1788–1857) and Anne Jay (1793–1859) Bolton and their children, a fascinating and vibrant Anglo-American family whose life on two continents emphasized religious, intellectual, and artistic pursuits in a warm and lively family setting. This is the first exhibition to study the impressive legacy left by this family in religion, education, and the arts. A lecture series accompanies the exhibition and provides an overview of the Boltons’ lives and contributions to American society.
