Dighton Town Historian to speak in Berkley about Dighton Rock Park Resort
Posted
On Sunday, May 17, 2019, at 2:00 p.m., at the Museum of the Berkley Historical Society on South Main Street in Berkley, Dighton Historian Myrna D. Santos will give a presentation about the Dighton Rock Park Resort, an entertainment hub that existed on the Dighton banks of the Taunton River from1896 to 1921. The presentation will be hosted by the Berkley Historical Society.
This lost Dighton treasure was a trolley park, as were Sabbatia Park and Lincoln Park, Back in the Day, and it attracted literally thousands of visitors to enjoy its various forms of entertainment. Stop by and learn about a little-known part of Dighton's varied history -- a place that attracted visitors from distances away, some of whom traveled there by steamboat!
