The Perry Park Story

Perry Park imageFunded by the Douglas County Libraries Foundation, the Douglas County History Research Center has recently coordinated the reprint of The Perry Park Story. The Perry Park Story presents the history of Perry Park, from John D. Perry's original ranch, through the dreams of subsequent owners of establishing a summer resort, to the current development of more than 700 homes.

The publication includes a reprint of Ardis Webb’s original edition as well as a chapter written by Sally Maguire, a long-time resident of Perry Park, which brings the history of the area up to date. Also included is the documentary Perry Park: In the Shadows of Giants, on DVD produced by the Network DC.
