Synopsis "Whalom Park (Images of America)"

Discover what made Whalom Park a beloved institution for generations through historic photographs. Whalom Park's name is derived from adjoining Lake Whalom. Native Americans originally called the lake Unketchewhalom, meaning "the lake of the magician," based on a legend. They also considered it to be magical since there is no inlet. The Fitchburg & Leominster Street Railway acquired the land in 1892 and installed trolley lines and amusements, opening the park the following year. A deer park, an open-air theater, and an inn were followed in subsequent years by food concessions, a variety of games of skill, and amusement rides. A succession of natural disasters, fires, modernization, and expansion shaped the park into an iconic memory for so many area citizens and visitors. At the time of its closing in 2000, Whalom--at 108 years of age--held the distinction of being the oldest amusement park in America.Authors C. William Lakso, William E. Tyler, and Edwin G. Ollikkala thoroughly researched the history of the park and utilized donated photographs to augment those at the Lunenburg Historical Society. Their goal was to prepare a volume that would enable readers to quickly recall and visualize many pleasant memories and the happy times spent with their families at Whalom Park.
