A mountain of a donation: Celebrating the 20th anniversary of Parc Harold F. Baldwin

W. Keith Baldwin posing with a picture of Pinnacle Mountain, owned by his family for generations and donated 20 years ago to the municipality of Barnston to become a public park for all to enjoy. According to Baldwin, the picture is an enlargement of a snapshot taken over 80 years ago. It predates a landslide in 1937 that scarred the face of the mountain for decades, he said.

Over the weekend, members of the Baldwin family gathered at the foot of Pinnacle Mountain to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the mountain’s donation to the municipality of Barnston. While the Pinnacle receives 20,000 visitors per year, not many people know that access to the scenic view is thanks to 95-year-old W. Keith Baldwin, who was following his father Harold F. Baldwin’s wishes to see the Pinnacle mountain made into a public park for all to enjoy. See full story in the Wednesday, October 3 edition of The Record.
