History
Bellevue Park was laid out in 1910, subdivided from the 1876 homestead of Jacob Haehnlen, which later became the home in 1908 of nationally known horticulturalist, environmentalist and publisher J. Horace McFarland. Warren H. Manning of Boston area, a preeminent landscape designer, was another principal collaborator, which resulted in central Pennsylvania's first landscaped suburb.[2]
