and refreshments. This is the perfect place for family reunions

Williams Grove started in 1850 when the Williams
family began having picnics on their farm. In 1887 became
more like a fair ground. During 1918 the Williams family sold
the property to Charles Markly who then sold it to the Rickwine
family in 1924. In 1928 the park got its first mechanical
rides. Because of the war the park was forced to close during
the 1943 &44 seasons, but reopened after the war. Today
