Empire Amusement Park Token

[soldier35]

Hello All,
I was out this morning and found this token. From what I have been told there used to be a huge amusement park in Tiffin, Ohio and this is a token from that park (Empire Park).
The park opened in 1876 and closed in the early 1900's. This a great hobby! Any other info would be appreciated.
Keep on Digging!

Great token, Soldier !

I once went to Euclid Beach Park in Ohio on Lake Erie...
Wonder how far Tiffin is from there ?

Yah, I guess so, Tank !

As I recall, I was unhappy because I was too young/small for the big rollercoaster.
...but that's all I can remember, since you've mentioned it !

Empire park was located at riverview park in Tiffin. It was at the orphanage, which is now the state hospital. Unfortunately many have requested permission to hunt and have been denied, I myself being one. There is just so much treasure waiting in there. I found a 2cent merchandise token for the canning dept. there in a public park across the street
