The Page House is the oldest standing home in Morrisville and is listed on the National Register of
Historic Places. This project would preserve the home site and create a unique open space. While the
Parks Master Plan does not specifically address this site, one objective of the plan states that we
should ensure facilities and parks have a strong identity, character and theming, rooted in the Town's
cultural history, natural features or brand.

116 South Page Street
Preserve and create a unique historic themed space between the Historic Pugh House and the Historic
Page House. Amenities include museum space inside, farming displays, a trail connected to the
Crabtree Hatcher Creek greenway, a gazebo/shelter space, and interpretive signage about 1800's
Morrisville and the Civil War skirmish that impacted the site. The rear part of the property could
potentially serve as an educational and agricultural site as a future location for a community garden.
Improvements could include some additional parking, signage, and educational exhibits.
The Town owns the former Go Triangle site across from Town Hall and the historic Pugh House.
