Centennial Park

A granite obelisk honoring Frank Padget anchors this garden and park beside the Glasgow Town Hall. A historic marker beside the park describes the bravery of Padget, a slave and skilled boatman who drowned while leading a rescue attempt at Balcony Falls during heavy flooding on the James River in 1754.
