Little Flower blossoms as new county park
 The scenic tree-lined property that once belonged to Thomas Scott, President Abraham Lincoln's Assistant Secretary of War, is now preserved as open space thanks to Delaware County's purchase of the Little Flower Manor property in Darby Borough. The land acquired is a little more than 37 acres, and will soon be open to Delaware County residents to picnic, hike and enjoy this beautiful property.
