Named for the pioneer woman who gave this land for a park in 1900

Born at Frankfort, Indiana in 1841, Julia came west with her parents in 1853.
She married Albert Henderson in 1858 and for many years they lived in nearby Fossil.
She died August 11, 1928.

Since 1900 the park has been the site for the annual Pioneer Picnic, and is also used for summer reunions, social events and weddings of Wheeler and Gilliam county pioneer families.
