Title
Gold Pan Gulch at Pleasure Island
Description
"A rustic section at Pleasure Island traces the western movement of early New Englanders. Gun fights are frequent. Stage coaches, covered wagons, buckboards, surreys and a live steam railroad carry visitors into the romantic West. Diamond Lil's Saloon (soft drinks only), the Chisholm Trail, a gold mining operation for guests, and even a newspaper office are popular attractions. The multi-million dollar Park is in Wakefield, Mass., outside Boston, on Route 128, Exit 21A." -- Text from back of postcard.
