If you are in your 40's, 50's or 60's and are from the Adirondacks, The Capital Region, Upstate, Downstate or out of state, it's quite possible that you spent time at the vaudeville themed amusement park, Gaslight Village in Lake George, New York.

Before Gaslight Village closed, the 15 acre property was filled by old time buildings and rides like the Space Shuttle, Water Bug and the Antique Cars. In the Opera House families could watch the Americana Ice Show Extravaganza, Vaudeville shows and the Meller Dramas.
