Cedar Point 1961

This is rare footage of Cedar Point in 1961 and 1965. In the 1860s, during the American Civil War, housing for a battery of four field artillery pieces was constructed at the tip of the peninsula to guard access to the Confederate prisoner of war camp on nearby Johnson's Island. When the war ended, Cedar Point resumed its role as a summer picnic area, and the initial park was constructed in 1870. In 1870, Louis Zistel, a German immigrant, who was a cabinet maker at the time in Sandusky, Ohio, constructed a beer garden with a small dance floor on the peninsula. He also made a set of small bathhouses and constructed a couple of children's playground attractions. Zistel charged 25 cents per ticket to get a ride from Sandusky to Cedar Point on his boat, "Young Reindeer."
