Come make a find in Roanoke's first park.

I placed a micro for you to take a smiley out of Roanoke's first park.

Highland park still contains one of Roanoke oldest residences. The Alexander-Gish house. No one knows the exact date this specific house was built. This property Highland park. Has been used as a homesite since before the 1750s. In 1836, William Coon acquired the property, and lived there until his death in 1860. His nephew inherited the property, died in 1863, leaving the property to his widow, Nannie Coon. Nannie married Samuel H. Gish about two years later, and the property became known as the "Gish Woods". In 1901, Nannie Gish sold "Gish Woods" to Roanoke for $10,000 and it became Roanoke's first park.

Lots of history here in a great park.

In todays time the park is most popular for its dog playground.

Come visit the brick pathways, and enjoy the hunt.

Cache is a micro. Bring a Pen.
