About the Author

Jay Ducharme worked at Mountain Park for over a decade, just as his father before him, and has spent much of his life preserving and sharing the history of the park. He is a member of the board of directors for the Holyoke Merry-Go-Round, the only part of Mountain Park that has remained in the city. The rarely seen images in this book have been gathered from the collections of the Holyoke Public Library, Wistariahurst Museum, local newspapers, and residents.
