Wittmann's Funland
As we approach the end of summer, I can't help but remember summers past and all the fun we had at this place. One of my fondest memories is cajoling my big brother, who was then on leave from the Air Force, to take me to this place when I was a small boy. What more fun could I have had- having my boyhood hero all to myself for an afternoon at the greatest entertainment venue this seven year old had ever seen! This photo from around 1965 is just as I remember it.

May even had a mini golf course at one time.
