Images of America: Mountain Park
by Jay Ducharme
Jay Ducharme worked at Mountain Park for over a decade, just as his father before him, and has spent much of his life preserving and sharing the history of the park. He is a member of the board of directors for the Holyoke Merry-Go-Round at Heritage State park, the only part of Mountain Park that has remained in the city. The rarely seen images in this book have been gathered from the collections of the Holyoke Public Library, Wistariahurst Museum, local newspapers, and residents.


The author Jay Ducharme will be on hand at the Derby Dazzle May 3 for a book signing. Books will be on sale at the Holyoke Merry-Go-Round.
