Shook Remark: Text on reverse - Play this record on your phonograph 78 rpm speed (manual). Enchanted Forest, Indiana. Indiana's most fabulous entertainment area, 34 acres of beautiful woodland, is located at Chesterton, 1/2 mile south of Indiana Dunes State Park on U.S. 20. Everything from rides 'n thrills to the quiet seclusion of forest picnic groves. Enchanted Forest began operations in 1956. It was located on a 35 acre tract of land on the north side of U.S. Route 20 west of Indiana State Road 49. Ted Kruse of Beverly Shores, Indiana, Joseph Karras of Michigan City, Indiana, and James Marzano of Chicago were developers of the amusement park. Initially, the park included thirty deer, elk, mountain goats, buffalo, and guanacos. The grounds also included a amusement park, concessions, restaurant, picnic area, Santa Claus Workshop, and Story Book Lane, which used animals to portray nursery rhymes. As a result of poor weather conditions and a heavy debt load, the park filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization in April 1990, but soon filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy dissolution in December 1990. The real estate and all assets on the property were sold at public auction on Saturday, October 19, 1991, by Norton Auctioneers of Michigan, Inc.
