"One of the oldest municipal parks in New Hampshire,
White Park was conveyed to the city by Armenia White in 1884, in memory of her husband Nathaniel.
Mr. White, a founder of the American Express Company, was a prominent businessman, legislator, and
philanthropist. Both Mr. and Mrs. White were active in the abolition, temperance, and women's
suffrage movements. The park was designed by landscape architect Charles Eliot, and retains the
character of his original design."
