August History Bit: Edna Struck Park

12 Aug

In this month’s History Bit, we highlight a little Village of Webster park with a long history.

Edna Struck Park is the little grassy median on the east side of the village where Lapham Park makes a slight jog at the corner of Elm St. Those who live in the village have come to take the pleasant little green space for granted. But not everyone knows the park’s rather interesting history, or that at one point many years ago, it was almost eliminated altogether.

Back in the 1890s, the land was owned by Russell Lapham. Where the park now stands was actually part of a baseball field, complete with a grandstand and ticket office. Home plate was located about where Edna Struck Park is now, and the pitcher’s mound was in the front yard of the home at the southeast corner of Lapham Park and Elm.

The Town of Webster team used the village field for four years, hosting teams from all around the county, until the Lapham family decided to convert the tract into building lots. As the neighborhood grew, the little traffic island park was created. Early photos show a peaceful green space shaded by stately elms, with a sign warning drivers to “go to the right.”

Even with that warning in place, the island has been known to befuddle drivers. In the late 1960s, Curt Gerling, then editor of the Webster Herald, wrote an article suggesting the island be removed after he had trouble negotiating the curves one night. Concerned about the article, several neighbors came together and decided the best way to save the park was to make it more attractive, planting crabapple trees and petunias.

One of those neighbors was Edna Struck, who lived on Park Ave. and became known as the “First Lady of Lapham Park.” For years, Edna carefully tended to the trees and flowers. After she passed in 1991, her neighbors erected a marker in her honor, identifying Edna as the “Neighborhood Gardener.”

The unpretentious little green space quietly beautified the Lapham Park neighborhood for more than 25 years, and in 2005 was designated an official local landmark. Then, in 2019, it once again befuddled a driver. In February of that year, someone was driving down Lapham Park much too fast and, instead of navigating the jog in the road, plowed right through the park, mowing down the trees and plants, and inflicting significant other damage.

It took a few years, but eventually efforts began to bring the island back to its original beauty, led by the village’s Historic Preservation Committee. On May 9, 2024, Edna Struck Memorial Park was officially rededicated in honor of “our neighborhood gardener.” So next time you stroll by, pause a moment to appreciate this little park’s long history, and remember Edna.

After more than three years of TLC, including planting new grass, trees and flowers, and installing a new stone and memorial plaque, Edna Struck Memorial Park is looking beautiful again. On Thursday May 9, a dozen local officials gathered to officially rededicate the 130-year old park in honor of the village’s “neighborhood gardener.”

Buy a brick, support the Webster Arboretum

1 Aug

I often write about the Webster Arboretum, because I think it’s a hidden community gem. Most recently, I told you about the Arboretum’s June’s “Anniversary in the Gardens” party in celebration of America’s 250th birthday, and the Arboretum’s beautiful and peaceful Poetry Trail.

But those were just the most recent reasons the Arboretum got my attention. The Arboretum Association also hosts free informational programs every month and the occasional summer concert. And then of course there’s the Arboretum’s main attractions: 1.5 miles of tranquil, flat gravel trails meandering through specialized gardens, wooded groves and around a beautiful pond. There’s a gazebo (which often hosts summer concerts) and the Curry Building, a spacious lodge which can be rented out for special events.

The Arboretum is clearly a treasured local resource, but it relies on community support. Today I want to tell you about an easy way you can help support their mission and honor a loved one at the same time: purchasing a custom-inscribed brick.

The brick program has been going on for a while, but I’m not sure a whole lot of people know about it. For a donation of $75, you can have a brick engraved with your family’s name, a beloved pet’s name, an inspirational message, your organization’s name, or whatever you’d like. It can commemorate a special occasion (like a wedding, graduation, birthday, anniversary or retirement) or be a memorial for a loved one. It would make a great gift, just sayin’.

Your brick will be placed along the remembrance walkway at the Arboretum, which stretches from the Curry Building to the gazebo.

Whatever inscription you choose, you can be happy in the knowledge that your message will be on permanent display, and equally happy to know that you’ve supported the Arboretum in their efforts to maintain their beautiful facility.

Click here for more information and to place an order.

The Webster Arboretum is located at 1700 Schlegel Rd.

Arboretum Poetry Trail blends nature and art

13 Jul

Next time you take a walk through the Webster Arboretum on Schlegel Rd., you might find yourself stopping for more than just the flowers and trees. You might just lose yourself in rhyme.

Placed along the Arboretum’s gracefully winding paths is a series of five poems, the work of area authors, posted on handsome plaques adjacent to some of the park’s most picturesque features. They’re part of the Arboretum’s Poetry Trail, a community-driven space that blends the natural beauty of the park with local literature.

Opened in May 2025, the trail was spearheaded by Rochester-area poet Ron Friedman, who worked closely with the Arboretum’s Board of Directors to determine which poems would be used, where they would be placed and how the plaques would be designed. Ultimately, 11 poems were selected from hundreds submitted the previous spring, the chosen poets reflecting a variety of ages and talents, including one near the pond, called “If I Were a Butterfly,” written by preschoolers.

The trail currently features five of the chosen poems, each printed on a handsome brown plaque. In addition to the poem, there’s also a QR code which links to a recording of the poet reading his or her work. Reading the poem along with the author is a very calming experience. (The preschoolers’ poem doesn’t have a QR code, but you can see a video of the children reading it here.)

The trail itself stretches for a little less than a half mile, winding past the pond and the smaller gazebo, and across the covered footbridge. It only takes about 20 minutes to walk its length, depending on how long you pause to contemplate each poem. Most of the plaques are placed right on the gravel trail, which makes them very accessible. They’ve been installed at natural resting points, highlighting several of the Arboretum’s most beautiful locales.

In addition to the preschoolers’ butterfly poem, the four other poems are “Messages From the Garden” by Heidi Nightengale of Auburn, “Haiku Spring” by Rachel Ikins of Baldwinsville, “She Who is Sealed is Plastic” by Karen Faris of Rochester, and “Dear Arboretum in Webster” by Bobbie Dumas Panck of Malone.

Ron has six additional poems in reserve, which are currently “on the road,” having traveled to the Webster Schroeder High School library, the Webster Library, Monroe Community College, and the Before Your Quiet Eyes bookstore on Monroe Ave. He plans to rotate five of those into the Arboretum soon, to keep the trail engaging and feature a greater variety of poets. The posts themselves will remain in the same locations.

The map indicates the approximate location of each poem (click on it to enlarge it). The Webster Arboretum is located at 1700 Schlegel Rd.

Light up the night at Party in the Park

29 Jun

You know those Family Game Nights the Webster Business Improvement District (BID) folks would have occasionally on Main Street? They had music and dancing and snacks and games, and sometimes beer.

Well, there hasn’t been one of those in a while, but the BID is kind of bringing it back in a few weeks with their brand new family event, “Party in the Park.” It takes place Saturday night, July 11 from 6 to 10 p.m. at Veterans Memorial Park, and it’s a little bit different — and I think better — than the Family Game Nights.

For starters, the BID organizers will be providing glow sticks, so the kids can light up the night as the sun sets. There’ll be games, food provided by Webster Hots, ice cream treats from Sips & Scoops, DJ music from Cassano Studios, and lots and lots of dancing.

This is going to be a great family-fun event, and a really nice way to enjoy a warm summer evening. It’s totally free and all ages are encouraged to attend. It’s Saturday, July 11 from 6 to 10 p.m. at the gazebo, 28 North Ave. in the Village of Webster.

America’s 250th Celebration at the Arboretum was a great success

28 Jun
Michael Grenier’s flint and steel demonstration was a hit with the kids
Even the adults got into the dance party spirit

You know how those nostalgic movies like Tom Sawyer and The Music Man often feature idyllic, turn-of-the-century scenes of Fourth-of-July celebrations? They’re sun-drenched settings with brass bands, ice cream, bustling town squares (complete with gazebos), kids playing lawn games, neighbors visiting with neighbors, and plenty of red, white and blue bunting.

That is exactly what it felt like to be part of the Webster Arboretum’s huge America’s 250th Celebration last Wednesday, June 24. It had all those elements, and many more, including kids’ crafts, food trucks, a duck race, musket firing, honor guard, story telling, a dance party, dulcimers, a barbershop chorus, and guided tours of the Arboretum grounds. It was even sun-drenched. The whole afternoon had a classic Americana vibe, a wonderful celebration of our country’s rich history, while also highlighting our area’s own cultural and educational groups.

Organizers estimate that more than 1000 community members attended the four-hour celebration, and that’s on top of the representatives from the two dozen community groups which had set up information tables.

It all took a ton of planning, and reflected the efforts of a dedicated team of volunteers.

Wendy Mendola from the Arboretum wrote,

Jason Poole from the Webster Library, Sharon Pratt from the Webster Museum, Lisa Schlonski from Lala’s and Ginny Nguyen all worked with the board members of The Webster Arboretum to bring this event to fruition. Our planning began months ago and we met regularly to bring our community together to celebrate America’s 250th and bring the Webster Arboretum to the forefront. We would like to thank the volunteers, sponsors and the members of the community for making this event a rocking success.

This was our first BIG event and we feel it went very well. We brought the community together for some good family fun.

Striking Strings Dulcimer Group

I spent the entire afternoon at the event. For much of the time I was hanging out at our Women’s Club of Webster display, but I made sure to regularly walk around the grounds, stopping by all of the information tables, chatting with the organization representatives, listening to the bands and watching the kids laughing and having fun. It was delightful to see entire families out in the field playing Cornhole together, or at the craft table painting flower pots. Watching Michael Grenier — decked out in his all-wool Revolutionary War uniform — whip a batch of young, raw recruits into shape was absolutely charming. Standing face-to-snout with a huge snapping turtle was less so.

It was all extremely well organized and so much fun, the perfect way to celebrate our nation’s birthday. Congratulations to everyone who helped pull it together, and many thanks to all of the organizations who set up tables and community members who came out to have some good old-fashioned family fun. It’s really a shame we can’t do it all again next year.

… or can we?

A thousand thank yous to Joe Altieri for most of these photos! Here’s a gallery with a few more:

Musicians take over the White House

25 Jun

If you’re an Irish musician and you live in or near Rochester, chances are good you were at a party up at Webster Park on Saturday the 13th.

The occasion was the annual “Stand Around and Play Some Tunes” gathering, at which musicians of all kinds are invited to … well, stand around and play. The event was begun perhaps 40 years ago by well-known local Irish musician Lynn Pilaroscia, an invitation for his musician friends (whether Irish, folk, bluegrass or others) to hang out together, enjoy some food and drink, and play some tunes.

When everything really got going, it was quite a treat for the eyes and ears. At any one moment during the afternoon you might see anywhere from four to seven small groups of musicians, each in a different corner of the White House property — the front porch, the back porch, under a tree, in the main room — jamming. No matter where you were, music surrounded you: bluegrass, waltzes, folk tunes, and traditional Irish jigs, reels and ballads. And the variety of instruments was always astounding: flutes, concertinas, banjos, guitars, string basses, mandolins, accordions, tin whistles, bodhrans, and lots of fiddles.

Thanks to our significant involvement in the Rochester Irish community back in the 1990s, my husband and I knew Lynn well and attended many Stand Around and Play gatherings. It was a great chance to visit with old and new friends from the Irish community and listen to some trad Irish tunes. My favorite memory is when my son Sean — who at 5 years old was inspired by Joe Dady to take up the fiddle — actually got to chat with Joe at one of these parties, and play his fiddle.

Around 2014, Lynn decided to take a break from the parties, in large part because his friend who had done all the grilling wasn’t able to do it anymore. For a long while, the event was forgotten. Lynn passed away in July, 2024 before resurrecting the annual musical gathering.

But last year, and again this year, thanks to the efforts of John Michael Ryan, Jonathan Kyle, and Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann, the Rochester Irish Musician’s Association, Stand Around and Play returned to the White House. Once again, music of all kinds filled the air from all corners of the building (mostly indoors this year since it rained buckets that Saturday). Perhaps because of the threat of nasty weather, attendance was down. But organizers are hoping that in the years to come, the event will continue to grow again, and Lynn’s dream is rekindled, bringing musicians together to do what they love most: play music.

Thank you from the Arboretum!

21 May

Just a quick blog today to pass along a heartfelt message from the folks at the Webster Arboretum, following up on this year’s Day of Caring.

Day of Caring is a massive, community-wide volunteer event typically hosted by local branches of the United Way. It brings together thousands of volunteers from local businesses, schools, and neighborhoods to complete hands-on service projects.  

This year’s Day of Caring was held on Thursday, May 21, and the Webster Arboretum was one of the chosen beneficiaries. Volunteers from several organizations descended on the Arboretum grounds and did an outstanding job weeding, pruning and mulching, making the Arboretum even more beautiful than it usually is.

The Arboretum would like to thank the following organizations for their hard work and support: Carestream Finance, L3Harris, Paychex ENS, TRSS and Winn Residential.  

Now’s the perfect time to swing by the Arboretum, 1700 Schlegel Rd., to appreciate this beautiful local resource. Thanks to the many helping hands, it’s in full bloom and looks awesome.
