HistoryAs with the other Bradford County Parks, Larnard/Hornbrook Park came into existence through the State Project 70, a program to develop parks in rural areas. Planning began in the early to middle 1960’s. Initial development was achieved in the 1970’s. The program was co-operation effort with the Bradford County Commissioners who at that time were Harold Woodard, Benny Larnard, and Henry Stone. In March of 1970, the County purchased two parcels of land in Susquehanna Township from Charles and Esther Kitchen for a park site. One parcel along the bank of the Susquehanna River consisted of 17.5 acres. The second parcel is an island in the river and is listed as containing 12.6 acres. There is boat access to the river. The original name of this was Hornbrook Park. After Mr. Larnard retired from the Commissioner’s Office, a petition was circulated to change the name to Larnard/Hornbrook Park. It was officially changed, giving honor to Mr. Larnard who worked so diligently to have the park developed. Related LinksDocuments & Forms
