TYLER, Texas (KLTV) - In the town of Frankston, there is a spot in the downtown square which has had a gazebo for more than 100 years.
The city of Frankston is named for “Miss Frankie,” Frankie Miller. Miss Frankie donated this site, known as the town square, for a city park.

The park came into existence in 1908. A post office and many businesses had opened and surrounded the park.
A gazebo was built around 1920 and became the site of different social events.
The square continues to serve as the town’s social and business center. The park was designated with a historical marker in 1995.
