Then

This is what the pocket park on the corner of Marshall and Providence streets looked like in 2011. Putnam Town Crier file photos.

 

& Now

The park today. A Free Little Library has been added (small house-like structure on right side of entry walkway)  Libraries have also been installed near the Farmers Market and Rotary Park. The libraries, part of an Eagle Scout project, were done by Michael DiColella of Boy Scout Troop 25 with support from the Putnam Rotary Club.
