When sedans and station wagons replaced trains for vacationers heading to New Hampshire�s rugged and picturesque White Mountains; new motels and attractions catering to middle-class families sprang up amidst the established grand hotels and diversions for socialites; artists; skiers; and hikers. In 1954; a tiny children�s park inspired by a collection of storybook dolls opened in the quiet village of Glen. Through a unique combination of independent innovation and regional cooperation; Story Land has continually grown for more than 50 years through economic and cultural changes that undermined many amusement parks. Parents still travel great distances for a Story Land getaway with their children; just as their own parents did; sharing a common experience that is talked about between multiple generations at family gatherings. This photograph collection illustrates the unlikely beginnings and creative entrepreneurship behind one of New England�s most memorable and enduring childhood institutions.
