Another interesting note:
My father who is a Brunswick native, remembers while growing up (back in the late 1930’s - early 1940’s) people bringing their animals to Lanier Field to let them graze. They would bring cows to the area behind the baseball field in the morning and tie them up. Then they would come back later in the evening to bring them home. You don’t see things like that anymore.
