Near this site, in a hickory grove, Paul and Jacob Walter built summer houses in 1784 that formed the nucleus of a summer colony that grew into the town of Walterboro. The town's first store was here, and later its first drug store. The park here was the center of community life until the cyclone of 1879 leveled most of the trees.
