A postcard depicting Meyerâs Lake Park in the moonlight. Authorâs collection.
In the following years, the Meyer family furthered the Meyerâs Lake Park concept that Edwardâs father had started. Eventually, the entire west shore became a popular amusement park, drawing crowds by the thousands each summer until the 1970s. Perhaps these summer vacationers were stomping on an almost forgotten amusement: the legendary buried treasure.
As the decades passed, the homestead was passed from one generation to the next. Parcels of the property were sold off as the farming lands were no longer being cultivated. By the 1970s, the mansion plus ten woodsy acres were all that was left on the once expansive property. The single-family housing developments of the 1930s and â40s cluttered around woodsy Meyerâs Knoll. The owner of the time, Andrewâs great-great-granddaughter, chose not to live in the house. Thus, the place sat vacant for many years. An article in the 1940s about the historic house reported that neighbors described the mansion as âmoody and mysterious,â and youngsters were certain it was haunted.
The amusement park, as well, was just a shadow of its heyday; only small houses and picnic shelters remained around the lake.
