Olin-Turville Park

This park is named in honor of John Olin (1851-1924) for the instrumental role he played in the purchase of this 28-acre site in 1910. An additional 65 acres was donated to the city, in 1980 by the Turville Point Association. Between 1854 and 1910 this site housed several resorts, including the Water Cure from 1854-1857, the Lakeside Hotel from 1866-1877, and the Wisconsin Sunday School Assembly Camp from 1881-1908.

Marker is on Olin-Turville Court.
