About The Author
Tennyson Dickinson
Tennyson Dickinson, great-granddaughter of the founders of Lake Winnepesaukah Amusement Park, grew up living on the property. After decades away, she returned to help the business for what turned into 26 years. Dickinson offers a unique yet personal perspective on the park’s mission of providing safe, “old-fashioned” fun for children of all ages. The family kept an abundance of history of the park, from mementos and records to pictures and oral narratives handed down, and the stories have been kept and cherished and are now shared.
