Durand Eastman Park Presentation with local author Jack Butler.

Tuesday, April 15th 2025: Durand Eastman Park Presentation with local author Jack Butler starting at 10am.
Most Rochesterians know of Mr. Eastman but very few know of Dr. Henry Durand. The Park was Durand’s idea. This presentation explores the fascinating life of Henry Durand, his relationship with George Eastman, and the shocking twist that occurs once they donate their land to the City of Rochester. Durand Eastman Park takes on a life of its own in the years that follow. A tree museum, a beach house, a zoo, a golf course and the “White Lady” ghost helped create the Park that Dr. Durand had envisioned: “world class.” This presentation meets at 10am at The Bird House.
