Columbia Montour Quarterly Vol. 5: July-September 2022

Wow, there is a lot of information there! To anyone who has ever been to Knoebels Amusement Resort, or plan to go in the future, I hope you can appreciate the connection to the past within the park itself. This was a tough one to gather a lot of information. I really had to search the internet to find any pictures. Most pictures I did find were attached to sites that featured the personal collections of old time photos belonging to relatives. The majority of the best park photos seem to be from the collection of Ellen Geisel from Honey Brook, PA. I also want to recognize the work of Cheri Sundra for uncovering a lot of those photos, as well as the authors of many articles about Croop’s Glen that I was able to use to put this together.
