Sayre History Reflected Across the Decades Howard Elmer Park is Sayre. It is located in the heart of Sayre Borough, the “keystone” of the Valley. Its memorials and bandstand along with its constant and varied usage convey much of the story of Sayre since the days of its founding. Whereas other major players in Sayre’s history, such as the hospital and the railroad, have changed significantly over the years, the park has always been “the park.” Most residents of Sayre, living and departed, since the birth of the community, are very likely to have a recollection of Howard Elmer Park. It has been the most widely-viewed, largely unchanged entity in Sayre for more than 130 years. It was known by Howard Elmer, the founder of Sayre, in the later part of the 19th century. Hopefully it will be known over the centuries to come by future generations of Sayreites ....click for more
