Pulsifer Park This large median at the intersection of Old England and Webster avenues is a wonderful neighborhood greenspace. As the plaque reads it was named, “in honor of Royal MacIntosh Pulsifer, 1843-1888. Mayor of Newton, Mass. Publisher-Owner of Boston-Herald, President First Railroad across Florida, Connecting St. John’s River and Tampa Bay, Aided Founders of Winter Park.” Pulsifer is credited with bringing the railroad to Winter Park as a stop between Sanford and Orlando, which enabled visitors from the north to travel to the city. He was born in Massachusetts on June 2, 1843, and died there on October 27, 1888. Also located in Pulsifer Park, there is a special little sign {right} that reads, “All the flowers of all the tomorrows are the seeds of today,” installed by the Red Pepper Garden Club.
