Jenison Electric Park: Holland Michigan's Beloved Resort and Amusement Parkvolume 1

By lois jesiek kayes

Jenison Electric Park is an illustrated historical profile of the lakeside resort and its beloved amusement park that blossomed at the turn of the twentieth century. Located on the shores of Black Lake (Lake Macatawa since 1934), it rose to popularity during the gentle era of steamship travel, electric railroads, and the twilight of the horse and buggy. Families, church groups, and other vacationers sought refuge from the summer heat on the shaded lawns cooled by lake breezes. This painstakingly researched book brings to life a forgotten time in Michigan's fascinating history.
