History
Stretch Dog Park, located within Tuttle Creek State Park in Manhattan, Kansas, offers a unique setting for dog owners.
Situated at 5800 River Pond Rd., the park provides a space for dogs to exercise and socialize.
The park’s history is surprisingly layered.
It’s now a popular dog-friendly area, but the land previously housed a former prison.
Adding to the park's narrative is a significant historical event: around 9:00 PM, a mob targeted William Donnegan due to his marriage to a white woman.
Witnesses, including George Wilson, reported sightings of James at local establishments like Dandy Jim’s and Ed White’s saloon.
The area’s demographic shifts are also notable; by 1908, Springfield’s immigrant population had grown to approximately 4,500, with a substantial portion unable to speak English and a considerable number were illiterate.
