Mt. Gretna,

* * *

We know little about Mt. Gretna Park. It opened around the turn-of-the-century, and operated until around the 1950's.

There was a carousel, roller coaster, roller skating rink, an arcade, a restaurant, and other buildings and rides. Pleasure-seekers would arrive by train to the station.

A narrow-gauge train would carry passengers to the top of the mountain.

Few of the remains are still standing. In the mid-1990's, the carousel building's roof collapsed under an ice-storm. In 1998, another building burned down. The water tower for the train still stands.

The skating rink is the only building still operating. The building is over 100 years old, and still has the original flooring.
