ORSINI PARK WAS CARVED FROM LAND the Albany & Susquehanna Railroad purchased from George Severson (1794-1883) in the early
1850s for the railroad''s right-of-way. In addition to the railroad tracks, the land included room for a depot, a turntable, a water tower, and a large open space, soon adopted by area residents as "the village park." The park, fenced by
the railroad company in 1888, became an important gathering place, and the residents erect-
ed a roofed, two-story pagoda in 1889. In December 1942, the Village purchased the park from the D&H Railroad. The old pagoda was
torn down in 1947 and replaced with the current gazebo in 1978. In May 1997, the park received its first official name, dedicated as the Ernest P. Orsini Veterans Memorial Park.
EL PARQUE ORSINI FUE FORMADO
del
terreno que los Ferrocarriles Albany & Susquehanna compraron de George Severson (1794-1883) en los años 1850 por su derecho de paso.
Además de las vías, el terreno incluía sitio para
un depósito, plataforma giratoria, torre de agua,
y un gran espacio abierto, adoptado por residentes como "el parque de la aldea". El parque,
cercado por la compañía ferroviaria en 1888,
fue un sitio importante de encuentro, y los residentes construyeron una pagoda de dos pisos en
1889. En diciembre de 1942, la aldea le compró
el parque



de la Compañía Ferroviaria D & H. La
antigua pagoda fue demolida en 1947 y reemplazada por el actual gazebo en 1978. El parque
recibió su primer nombre oficial en mayo de
1997, dedicado como el Parque Conmemorativo
de Veteranos Ernest P. Orsini.
