During the 2009 celebration of Rochester, New York’s 175th anniversary,  the Highland Park Neighborhood Association  created this “Virtual Scrapbook”  to serve its community as a resource and repository.

Here you will find our ever growing set of memories, anecdotes, photographs, clippings, vintage memorabilia, oral histories and other materials that collectively serve as a snapshot of the present day sense of our neighborhood. The intent of this  site is to capture not only history but also the day-to-day life of our residents that would otherwise go unrecorded. Residents, visitors and friends are invited to send in any contribution that features a recollection about the neighborhood and the park with which it shares a border.
