A Postcard History » Kauffman’s Park
Kauffman’s Park
Crowds of people enjoyed a dip in Kauffman’s Park pool in the late summer of 1926. Kauffman’s park was the second of two amusement parks in Mt. Gretna. Opening in 1926, the park was a failure during the Great Depression and closed in the mid-1930′s. Although the public referred to it as Kauffman’s Park, Mr. Kauffman gave it the name of Laurel Park. Today, the park area has been developed as the Dennison estate, and the pool, a concreted pond amidst growing natural beauty.
