Barclay Square Memorial Park

In 1819, Rev. David Barclay purchased 327 acres of land, which was the original site of Punxsutawney. When the town site was recorded in 1821 in Indiana County, Rev. Barclay and his son-in-law, John W. Jenks, set aside “a parcel of land for public use”. In 1902, Shelly M. Noyes supervised the project of turning the parcel of “wasteland” into an “oasis”. Barclay Square is used today for many public functions.
