| Monty Shoemaker's CLOUD 9 PARK OLEAN, NEW YORK 1964 - 1971 |
| IN THE EARLY 1960'S, A MAN CALLED 'MONTY' SHOEMAKER BUILT A DREAM WHICH BECAME OLEAN'S FIRST AND ONLY THEME PARK. COMPLETE WITH AMUSEMENTS, CAMPSITES AND SO MUCH MORE. IT WAS BUILT ON THE SIDE OF MT. HERMANN'S, WITH AN UNPARALLELED VIEW OVERLOOKING OLEAN, NY. OPENING IN 1964, IT SOON BECAME OLEAN'S MOST POPULAR ATTRACTION. NOTHING BEFORE, AND NOTHING SINCE, HAS RIVALED THE IMAGINATION OF IT'S CREATOR. RELIVE THE MEMORIES OF THE PAST WITH SOME OF THE MEMORABILIA CONTRIBUTED BY 'MONTY'S' DAUGHTER KATIE |
