Storytown Time Capsule

- From being family owned to corporate, this is Storytown. From the beginning in 1954, Charles Wood created a small theme park in Lake George to it becoming a giant amusement park. It has lost the innocence and charm of a Nursery Rhyme Park to Six Flags The Great Escape. You can see how it started in the video from park's beginning to what it has become. Time marches on so people and places change but a lot remember what it used to be. Charles Wood was the grandfather of the amusement park. He opened before Disneyland.
I tried to show the park in various stages using commercials of the park to show how it changed.

They used to come out after you parked your car and attach a Story Town card board sign with wires on your bumper..My dad would freak...than years later that turned into a bumper sticker..can still remember walking down Main Street with the Sheriff using your finger to shoot the bad guys..hard to believe that was over 50 years ago...time never stops.
We visited in 1958, and you reminded me of those wired cardboard signs on our bumper! Man, that was a lifetime ago.
When I was 17, I left home to be a groom for the horses in that circus riding act shown briefly at the beginning. It was Tommy Hanneford's riding act and I believe the white horse's name was Prince.
I have my badge too. So many great memories of time spent at Storytown. Awesome video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this brings back wonderful memories for. me going there ,as a kid with my family
Thank you so very much for this video. It brings back so many memories.
I still have my deputy's badge somewhere - pinned on by Windy Bill McKay circa 1956. Good memories. Thanks.
Thanks so much for making this. Brought back childhood memories of my family going to LG. Just got back from taking my family. Just not the same…..
I'm 69 we went her 60 years what good memories
I have many memories at Story Town in the 70’s and early 80’s. Haven’t been there since.
Reading a book called God of the woods. It takes place in the Adirondacks. They mentioned Storytown in Lake George. I grew up going to LG and had to search up some Storytown video. Anyone with me? Frontier Town? Gaslight Village? Great times ❤
I’m with you! Some of my best childhood memories were in Lake George and Catskills Game farm!
Would love to see videos of Animal land another place that I loved and miss very much
choking up!
Thank you
**Happy Tears**
I don’t like the way the park is now ,they should have left it the it was
gods... I'm old.
I went to school with Charlene Wood the owners daughter.
can ANYONE tell me ALL or at least SOME, hopefully sufficient information to find, that...childs initiation into the army theyd hold here b4 frontier town closed, and then they obviously kept that act together and indeed took it on the road, as shown on "Americas funniest home videos", where they would tell, indeed little 6 yo boys "and you're not going to see your parents again for a long time", whole bunch of little, I dare state VARIOUS ages, children gathered together to "join" the army, with this guy in the frontier version of American general costume, DOING the initiation. anyone remember this/maybe experienced it somewhat recently ? I'm looking for where they took this program after frontier town closed down, where they're doing this now ? any information would be appreciated
Frontier Town was separate from Storytown but I remember the initiation because I did it. Had to do a couple of pushups and maybe got a badge. I recall being told to dig a little hole and bury my gum. Later on a train ride villains boarded but us kids were able to take them down. Funny stuff. I have a picture from that day. Circa 1977
Creepy looking place.
It was fun though. If you visited Lake George you went to Storytown.
