A 1905 postcard

The 1905 postcard provides a separate view of Edgewood Park.

The Park Before 1908

Its date establishes that Edgewood Park was developed by 1905 without claiming an opening year.

A Broader Park Story

The 1908 album also depicts gathering areas, a promenade or pavilion, and rail access. A separately available postcard presents the park in roughly the same period.
