“South Woods is a hidden jewel of rich and natural beauty, unsuspected by the casual traveller. Nestled in the tip of the south branch of Ceresco Valley, it has for a hundred years... furnished a retreat for many generations of lovers, brought to older folks inspiration and fragrant memories, and has yielded for all ages that essential contact with the primeval.”

Dr. George Conant, The South Woods Park Anniversary Booklet 1902-1947
