Storyland in Glen was founded in the early 1950's by Bob Morrell. That's a whole story in itself, that I will get around to one of these days. I would suppose this little map is from the very beginning days.

I recall once when my family went there in the mid 1950's and my older brother "Hap", who was about ten years old, was studying the old fire truck they had there and wondered why the siren didn't work. Being a mechanical sort of kid he noticed that it was simply that the battery was disconnected and within five minutes he had it all connected and had the siren wailing. The Storyland management was not impressed. They didn't throw us out though.

I have a dedicated page for Storyland at this LINK.

This post card was sent in by Diane Lambert and is labeled Cannell's, Glen, N.H. The cars in this picture suggest a time frame in the 1920's. The mountains in the background are suggestive of the area around the Intervale scenic vista...but the Cannell's did not move there until 1937. I think a closer investigation will reveal this is a southwesterly view from their Glen location.
