The site where Edaville sits can trace its roots as an attraction back to the late 1940s, when original owner Ellis Atwood opened a train line to “take people on rides through cranberry country.” Further rides and attractions were added to the site in the 1990s. According to the park’s ownership, the auction is the start of a process that will see the park “reimagined with many wonderful things to come toward the end of the year.”
