Eisenhower Park is one of Long Island's most beloved and well-known
attractions. Larger than New York City's Central Park, the park is
located on what was once the flat, wide open grassland known as the
Hempstead Plains, which was the largest stretch of prairie east of the
Mississippi River. This book offers a visual journey through the park's
history, from its early days as the Salisbury Golf Links to its
conversion into a park in the 1940s, and its continued growth through
the present day, highlighting some of the key moments, famous visitors,
and quirky places within the park in fascinating vintage and current
images.
