Mr. Caldwell gave this property as a memorial to his father, 
James Nelson Caldwell. 
The property is of peculiar historical interest, as it was part of 
the Miami grant, George Washington, President, to John Cleves 
Symmes, in 1785, by whom it was sold in 1796 to James Caldwell, the 
great uncle of the donor; therefore, the property has had but one 
family ownership of record. 
Mr. Bernard H, Kroger presented a property of 82 acres to the 
city for park purposes forever. The property is located on the

and an attractive piece of ground. 
It was used during the summer by the Cincinnati Anti-Tuberculosis
