NOTE: This has a higher difficulty rating because there are a
LOT of muggles, big and small, running around. You may want to
try during the school day or early morn/late night.Lord Mason Park
is named after one of my husband's ancestors- Howard Lord. Many,
many years ago, a family named "Lord" lived in the Borough of
Conneautville. The father's name was Francis and his father was
named Freedom. Freedom lived in Summerhill Township. It is unknown
exactly where Freedom lived, but he had a broom factory at the edge
of Conneaut Creek near Shermansville Road.
Francis would marry Caroline Sterling and they raised four
children: Seldon, Donna, Francis and Howard Lord. Howard, who was a
local well known athlete, graduating in the class of 1909. Howard
died suddenly in 1911 from scarlett fever and was memorialized
in1930 when a gymnasium was built for the school and dedicated to
Howard F. Lord. That is also why the name Lord is continued today
at the Park which became "Lord-Mason" Park.This is a great park to
visit with the kids and the dogs! Playground, ball fields, picnic
tables and more!
