Alma Stoker Park

Alma Stoker claimed this ground in 1870, before Syracuse existed — roughly two years before the area's first furrows were plowed and several before its first houses went up. That makes the Stoker homestead one of the founding facts of the settlement, older than the town it belongs to. He and his wife, Catherine Tolman, gave their lives' work to the community that grew up around it, and when Syracuse laid out a park here on the old homestead, it kept their name on the land.
