Description
In 1900 Colonel Edward Morrell of Philadelphia made the park grounds on his land available to the newly founded Horse Show and Fair Association. Horse shows were held there for 3 days during the last week in August from 1900-1912. He purchased the 60-acres, with a 1/2 mile track from William Roberts who was the proprietor of the Newport House.
The Jackson Laboratory now sits on this land.
