Durand Eastman Park: Yesterday and Today Author Talk with Jack Butler In-Person

Most Rochesterians know of Mr. Eastman but very few know of Dr. Henry Durand. The Park was Durand’s idea. The park's amazing history and promising future has resulted in this colorful 2024 publication by local author, Jack Butler. Durand Eastman Park: Yesterday and Today, explores the fascinating life of Henry Durand, his relationship with George Eastman, and the shocking twist that occurs once they donate their land to the City of Rochester.  Registration requested.

Following the discussion, Jack will sign copies of his book, Durand Eastman Park: Yesterday and Today. Softcover, $25.00; cash and checks accepted.
