Outdoor at Alameda Park

Below are some pictures I took at a historic park in my home town. Alameda Park was an amusement park in Butler, Pennsylvania from 1901-1944. The park included a roller coaster, Ferris wheel, dance hall, and boating lake. Famous musicians and entertainers of the day performed at the park, including Louis Armstrong.  The Butler Eagle

Although the amusement park rides are gone, the park still exists today. The famous Carousel Shelter can be rented for family reunions and wedding receptions. The park also includes a community pool, play ground equipment, and picnic shelters.

I loved photographing the Carousel Shelter and thinking of the joy it's brought people since the early 1900's!
