Description
It was described as a “magical wooded wonderland,” “a place where fairytales came to life,” and “a famous happy-land of ferns, fountains, flowers, fairytales and fun.” Others believed it to be a blight upon a sacred landscape and an intrusion on hallowed ground. From 1959 through 1980, the theme park Fantasyland Gettysburg entertained children of all ages. Discover more about the rise and fall of this unique place and the era in which it operated at Gettysburg.
