M W Play!
Tracy C. Brown Park
Shaded under the mighty oaks on
Rockingham Street in Robbins, the
Tracy C. Brown Park welcomes little
friends to come and play. One street
over from Middleton, the park parallels
the downtown streets of commerce.
With several play stations featuring
swings, slides, a tunnel, balancing
beam, see saw and fenced–in park, the
little ones can safely play. Picnic tables
under the pavilion offer a nice place to
enjoy a picnic maybe even a birthday
party; a grill stands ready to serve up
the hot dogs and burgers. Bring along
a friend, a party and come play at the
park. ☐

Tufts Archives
A non-profit organization, the Tufts
Archives preserves the history of
Pinehurst from the early days of 1895.
Not only does the Archives protect the
history, but they also display the history
for all to enjoy. Established in 1975, the
Tufts Archives is located in the Given
Memorial Library on Chinquapin Road
in the Village of Pinehurst.
Under the sponsorship of the Tufts
Family Foundation and the direction
of Richard Tufts, grandson of James
Walker Tufts, founder of Pinehurst, the
Archives was born. Gifts of donations,
sales and fund raisers keep the Archives
continuing the preservation efforts.
Display cases house historic
photographs, china plates, trolley
tickets, books and an endless array of
interesting treasures from the past.
From handwritten letters to pin flags
of Donald Ross courses, to Pinehurst
memorabilia, the Archives is the place
to visit! Be sure to check out the soda
fountain from James Walker Tufts’ work
up in Boston in the 1800s.
Whether you need to research the
inventory of the Rose Cottage, learn more
about the Tin Whistles or understand the
happenings around town during the early
1900’s, the Tufts Archives is the place to
begin! Be sure to stop in and make some
history of your own! ☐
