Additional Information: | In 1935, Robert Boerner, the brother of Alfred Boerner (who was employed with the Milwaukee Park Commission and designed Whitnal Park in Milwaukee), designed this park. In 1913, a number of Boerner family members organized the Cedar Hedge Farm Association, which raised and sold cut flowers and nursery stock. Robert's uncle Albert managed the business and also provided landscaping services. The business was sold in the early 1930s. Robert is cited as having designed a number of parks in Wisconsin and his fee for the Thiensville project is recorded as a mere $250. |
