Overview

Hamilton County parks have long been popular destinations for a variety of outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, golf, and boating. At the same time, the parks have worked diligently to preserve wetlands, prairies, and other natural habitats. Hamilton County Parks explores a fascinating and little explored chapter of Hamilton County history. It spans more than 75 years of local history, tracing the development of the park system and the services it has provided its residents over the years. Join author Robert Earnest Miller as he tells the story of the Hamilton County parks through photographs and other visual materials from an extensive collection maintained by the staff of the Hamilton County Park District. The vast majority of these images have never been published or displayed for the public before.
