STRATFORD The 32 acres of Boothe Memorial Park are every bit as eccentric as the two men who deeded it to the town in the late 1940s.
There’s an historic homestead. A clock tower. A lighthouse. A rose garden. A windmill. A blacksmith shop. And, for whatever reason, an old Merritt Parkway toll booth just to name a few of the 18 buildings that dot the property.
