This 50 acre tract along the Merrimack River
was the family farm of Revolutionary War hero
General John Stark and his wife Molly. When
soldiers were stricken with smallpox at Ticonderoga,
the general sent them here to his farm to recover.
General Stark returned here at the end of the war.
He died in 1822 and is buried in the family plot
in the park. The city of Manchester purchased
this site from Stark descendants in 1891, and it
was dedicated as a public park in 1893.

Stark Park was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on June 14, 2006.
