Frankford Burial Ground and the Playground Association, 1924-1932
Scope and Contents
Although various committees and relatives approved the adaptive re-use of the Frankford Burial Ground as a playground, the formal process was never concluded. The first file includes letters (both in support and against the playground use) and related records, along with a 1931 publication about Smith Memorial Playgrounds that discusses the Unity and Waln location. The second two folders are Thomas Shoemaker's correspondence files working to prevent the lease or sale of the Burial Ground and its use as a playground.
