Trinity Park Historic Lighting Project

Mt. Tabor recently installed lamp posts in Trinity Park, a central focal point of the community. The lamp posts were dedicated on September 26, 2004.

The project began in March of 2001 in response to a need for improved lighting of pathways in Trinity Park. The Mt. Tabor Historical Society and Beautification Committee of the Camp Meeting Association undertook the project to select appropriate fixtures for the 19th century park, which is surrounded by Victorian cottages, public buildings, and the Tabernacle. The joint committee decided on 10 lamp posts of a design similar in appearance to that of lamp posts (then lit by oil) seen in photographs of the park from the end of the 19th century. We hope that they will help recapture an earlier feeling of the area.

The funds for the fixtures were provided by donations from individuals and organizations, and their contributions are acknowledged by plaques affixed to each post. The additional costs of installation were shared by the Historical Society and Camp Meeting Association.

Thank you to all who helped make this addition to our community possible.
