On Friday, the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum dedicated the Senator J. Barry Stout Park, with family and friends of the late state senator on hand, as well as Washington County elected officials.
Stout was a longtime friend, supporter and advocate for the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum and helped secure federal and state grants for many of the museum’s projects. The park includes the Christopher Golofski Memorial Gazebo, custom-built playground equipment, a mural of Cascade Trolley Park, which was located in New Castle, and a brick wall embedded with Harmony Freight Station stones from Beaver Falls.
Scott Becker, the museum’s executive director, said the project “is a major piece of our effort to have a family-friendly venue and appropriately is named in memory of Sen. J. Barry Stout, who worked tirelessly to make our community a better place for all to live.”
