TECUMSEH PARK SHELTER

The park began as a community gathering place as far back as at least the 1880's when there are records detailing a school picnic here. The area became known as Murphy's Grove in the early 1900's named after Jim Murphy, who owned the land. Dewey Mohler, a long time Tecumseh resident, related that there was a pond to the south of the present day restrooms that he used to swim in as a kid, and there were picnic tables for the community to use.
