Linton Park was an artist who lived from 1826 to 1906, he was born on 16 November 1826 in Marion Center. He has for sure painted 13 pieces. The location of two paintings are unknown.
"Flax Scutching Bee"
which had it's back drop in Marion Center, PA. The second most famous painting by Park is"The Burial"
Park also painted a scene of the Johnstown Flood which is currently missing. However, Dr. Betts said that you couldn't look at this painting without weeping. The 6th graders at Eisenhower are doing an ongoing project on Linton Park. Which will culminate with a play that they will put on in Marion Center in mid-May. "Linton Park" is currently in the works to be a park in the Marion Center area. The students are working towards getting a plaque put up there. The children were so inquisitive and excited about this project and Dr. Betts really fed off their enthusiasm. He was such a cute funny man. Anyway, it's a rather interesting story.
