One of the highlights of our museum is hundreds of artifacts from Conneaut Lake Park and this includes its early years when it was known as Exposition Park.

Pictures from every era are displayed in the Conneaut Lake Park exhibit and also archived in our research books.

Look closely at some of the pictures and you can find a very young Perry Como & Doris Day who both got their start at Conneaut Lake Park.  Sports figures, including world champion boxer Max Schmeling are  also pictured.

Many museum visitors have been thrilled to find pictures of themselves or their ancestors on our wall!

But it’s not just pictures that bring back the memories though.  We have an old taffy box used to ship taffy made here and the museum exhibit also includes an old game and a player piano that was once part of the old shooting gallery.

Souvenirs of every description, postcards, and other pieces of memorabilia from either Exposition Park or Conneaut Lake Park are part of the wonderful memories that we can all share.

The original blueprints for Hotel Conneaut are just part of the treasures from the historical hotel.  A chandelier wheel was part of the Crystal Ballroom and now provides some of the light in the museum.  We also have a waste can and a silver tea service from the hotel.

The original showcase which once held posters advertising upcoming events at Dreamland Ballroom now holds souvenir posters from days gone by.  Photos and video of the fire which destroyed the ballroom are also displayed.

Postcards also are included in the exhibit which give visitors a glimpse into the golden age of the Park and reminds us of why the Park remains a treasure.

Our research room also includes a chronological review of the Park which can be used to understand what has happened in the past at Conneaut Lake Park.

Fairyland Forest, which was part of the Park for many years, also has a major part in our museum with dozens of pictures and other memorabilia.  They remind us of the charm of the fantasy that thrilled kids and adults alike.
