It would be fun to hop the fence and explore, though trespassing is not really my thing (!). Neat that you got to see it though, thank you for your comment!Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-18927091095549315532020-06-29T17:24:08.915-07:002020-06-29T17:24:08.915-07:00Hello, I found this vintage post today while doing...Hello, I found this vintage post today while doing a search to find out more about this Six Gun City in Jefferson, NH. Apparently, it's been closed down for a number of years after a rebirth/rename of Fort Jefferson failed some years ago. We came across the site while on drive in the Jefferson, NH, area on June 28, 2020. The site is fenced off, but you can see beyond the fencing that many of the buildings look intact. I also learned there was a similarly named theme park located in KY and from the online photos it's in way worse shape than this NH one.Beatrice P.

Though my travels normally steer me to one of the other parks in the area like Story Land, Santa's Village(also in Jefferson), or Clark's Trading Post. Though one mention was the water slides. fort Splash has been a part of the park for more then 20 years. long before the Combo park water park craze took face. <BR/><BR/>The park has indeed kept much of it's charm. that white house pictured as well a the power lines are now gone. Entering the picture was an expanded property, Rides (though not many) new buildings, and laser tag. Their most notable attraction is their very large selection of Sleighs and carriages that they have displayed. Including a rare NH built Concord Coach.<BR/><BR/>The attraction is not great. But worth a visit if your in the area and have the time. an easy hit along with Santa's Village which is right up the street.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-15153158739404168742008-06-16T11:14:00.000-07:002008-06-16T11:14:00.000-07:00Classic stuff!

That stage coach looks odd too; the sides look like they are made of cardboard. (That’s something I would do!). Thanks for these rare imagines!<BR/><BR/>ps. were stage coach wheels really YELLOW in the 1800's and if so, why?Vintage Disneyland Ticketshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14790755040005517146noreply@blogger.com
