Talk:Callahan State Park

History
Established in 1971. Originally the land was used for farming, but after the woods grew back the Millwood Hunt Club's members used the many trails bounded by the farmers as a riding area. When the club that had been using this area was dissolved the land stood unused until 1971 when its owner, Mrs. Constance Fiske, sold the land, for a modest price, to the state for the sole purpose of being a park. Mock Fox Hunts still happen bi-annually within the park.
