I am looking for a possible winner named John Green who would have been awarded lot number 107 of the twelfth district of Irwin County. John Green sold this land to Joshua Platt on Dec. 27, 1822. I feel almost certain that John Green had to get his land in the 1820 lottery and I would love to know the information about him contained din the Lottery. Any help would be appreciated.

But there is a huge fence surrounding the entrance, where the booths are where you used to pay to get in. I looked on Google earth and it seems there are some dirt roads that go in behind the property that I don't believe are fenced off. I'm kind of nervous about sneaking back there but I would love to see this place again. So many memories growing up. I'm sure all the rides are overgrown and broken down.

He said a friend of his that was involved with the lake said that there is so much money wrapped up in that place that it will never reopen again. This could be all rumors but thought it may be worth sharing. I have always been interested in this place as well since i was a child and spent many summers there. I was prob. the last generation to see its last days open. I have flew over it a couple of times recently but would like the chance to go walk around down there if possible. Does anyone know if you can drive there? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

These pics bring back a lot of good memories. I remember one occasion when our "gang of three" constructed a rube goldberg diving suit out of an old water heater, bicycle pump and tubing, and tried our hand at deep-water diving. It was a dismal failure, but thankfully we all survived. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
