Renfrew Park
|
While visiting Dwight
on a hunting expedition in 1860, the Prince of
Wales, travelling under the name Baron of Renfrew,
stayed on the property as a guest of James C.
Spencer. Later, Baron Renfrew became
King Edward VII.
A gift from David
McWilliams to the Village of Dwight in 1897, Renfrew
Park was designed by Ossian Cole Simonds, a noted
North America Landscape Architect who also designed
Graceland Cemetery in Chicago. The park today has three picnic shelters, picnic tables, three large playgrounds, tennis courts, and a baseball field. |
