Lincoln Park, then and now...

"The ghost of Lincoln Park"

 © 2002 Jack Iddon photo

     An introduction:

 In the photograph above, a ghostly-looking cloud drifts over the old, broken-down Comet roller coaster which still stands on the site of the once-thriving amusement park in Dartmouth, MA.     The photos on the "Then" page were taken at Lincoln Park in July of 1987, the last summer before the park closed for good. The "Now" page contains photos taken on a visit to the park in 1999, twelve years later. The popular amusement park thrived for many decades, finally closing in late '87. Over the years, fires have destroyed most of the buildings, but the memories linger on. I remember my parents taking me there in the 40's and 50's, and I brought my children to the same park in the 70's and 80's.
