About this title

Synopsis

The development of Truro's magnificent Victoria Park is a very compelling read. Full of romance, little known facts (the Olmsteds, of New York's Central Park fame were involved) and vintage Notman photographs, Joe Ballard's study is an eye-opener.

About the Author

Joseph M. A. Ballard is a senior preservation consultant with the cultural resource firm Vineberg & Fulton Ltd. He has held key positions with a number of provincial heritage organizations and resides on an old farm just outside of Truro, N. S. with his wife Melanie.
