This video was helpful. I could especially imagine what our north one of Indiana, just north of Fort Wayne, the old Robison Park was like (from 1890 until approximately 1928).
Yes, Kathleen, we in Fort Wayne had Robison Park, north along St Joe River (west side of river). As these people have said, ours too is taken over by "housing" --some million dollar home is out there, completely taking over "the peninsula", which I am sure we referred to as the island. We had tunnel of love ride, dance hall, money-atop-the-pole, a huge Orchestrion and more. So sad, even though ACRES land trust saved this for awhile, that sometime between 2004 and 2011 this area was so torn up badly, one could not take trails for mushroom hunting any longer. It was a grand place, as this one, in its heyday.
@@Bianca-hy7ln yep the whole thing rose island and everything its very beautiful but it is very hot there due to the fact that its mainly rocks but its great hike
There's not a whole lot left but it's still a pretty cool place to go. I can't wait until they invent the time machine lol If you go just bear in mind you either need to be active and somewhat fit or give yourself plenty of time to get up the hill on the way back out of the park. I wish they would have kept some of the Charleston Army ammunition plant before they demolished all of it. Unfortunately progress and development will always get more funding than remembering history.

I’m from Fort Wayne, Indiana
Back in the day there was an amusement park in my town.

I vaguely remember, a amusement park, I think it was called Jack and Jills, located at N coliseum blvd.
Very interesting I live in Otisco so will be visiting this spring
Great place I rember the caves on the river too.
Devils backbone was the name of the caves.
My mom and dad remembered going there a couple of times.

You can still see parts of it. Housing developments have taken over.

Us Hoosiers seem to take our history serious and we try our best to preserve it. And I fucking love that about us.
