Park history
How this park came to be
Watkins Glen Park was named for the Watkins family. Jonathan and Clarissa Watkins and their family arrived in Washington Township in 1804. They built the stone house which still stands at Route 48 and Nutt Road and is still owned by the family. Russell Watkins, the great great grandson of Jonathan was a Washington Township Trustee when the Park District was created.
