Brighton Beach

Brighton Beach was located at the end of Third Street.  A hotel was built in 1899 and it became even more popular then for picnics, band concerts, and other outdoor activities.  In spite of two renovations, the property was sold off around 1927 and the hotel torn down after years of trying to compete with Waverly Beach’s amusements which even included a roller coaster.   A private home was constructed on the grounds and in later years, the property was sold to a religious order of sisters for use as a retirement facility.  The ad dates from 1917 and was featured in the back of the Menasha High School annual of that year.
