One Hundred Years...

One hundred years ago, Victorian families flocked to West Haven's shoreline to picnic, stroll along the four mile coastline, dine in the pier restaurants and especially, to enjoy an amusement park then called White City. Future generations arrived in electric trolley cars, automobiles and buses. Regardless of the mode of transportation, the trip to what eventually expanded to become the Savin Rock Amusement Park was a memorable one, indeed!

Today, thousands of people recall the happy days of their youth: a mile long series of roller coasters, water chutes and carousel rides, auto races and bumper cars, mirrored and spooky fun houses, concerts and marathon dances….. Hot dogs, popcorn, frozen custard, mechanical fortune tellers or the laughing lady….. Young men determined to impress their date by winning prizes with pitching skills - or, for the timid - from a machine with a fishing derrick!

The new Savin Rock Museum offers an opportunity to revisit the sights and sounds of that era. Learn about the customs and culture, which spawned six generations of happy faces through interactive video, hands-on exhibits and rare memorabilia.
