Many people may stroll through Memorial Park on Landale’s Main Street and think it’s mostly know for its veterans monument and cannons.

But do you remember when it also was populated by deer and rabbits? At one point, these deer were even white!

Dot Seiler Bryant of Telford does.

And she shared with us this photo, which she said was taken in 1949.


As she notes, the photo was taken on the Line Street side of the park, and a cannon can be seen in the background.

“I am the baby, about 1 year old. My sister is the toddler, Margery Seiler Dayock. My mother is standing behind me, Dorothy Phelps Seiler. The others are family or friends,” Bryant writes.

It looks like the deer and rabbits were enjoying being fed by the visitors — and that they were well fed!
