Adventureland
Amusement Parks
Past Adventureland - was located around new U.S. Rt.1. Rt 95 Newbury, Mass. Exit at Scotland Road. It operated during the 1950’s. I’m not sure if it survived into the 70?s as Salisbury Beach was an up and coming amusement center during that time. I do not remember this place and was surprised to hear a place called Adventureland even existed at Newburyport. What do you know about it?
I remember it and I grew up in Chelmsford. Most people I know around here (I now live in Georgetown and worked in Newbury for 20 years) know nothing about it. I can remember a big pirate ship on an outcropping of rocks (near where the stat police station is now) right on route 95. I also remember Fort Apache that was in the vicinity of where the DPW is now.
I would love to learn more. I think I went there but I am not sure. I just remember driving by all the time.
I remember going there when I was a kid.Its funny no one seems to remember the place.I always look for the spot on the side of 95 where that ship was, I think it was just before Scottland Rd. I know I have post cards of that place some where.
