About: Gaslight Village

Gaslight Village was a Vaudeville themed amusement park in Lake George, New York. The park was located along New York State Route 9N, U.S. Route 9 and Warren County Route 69 (West Brook Road) in the village. It opened in 1959, designed by Arto Monaco and built by amusement park builder Charles Wood. The park was approximately 3-4 city blocks in size, and featured some standard amusement rides, (a Ferris wheel, merry-go-round, bumper cars, Tilt a Whirl, etc.) as well as some unusual rides. The main feature of the park was the Opera House where Vaudeville-style shows, including an Ice Show, melodramas, and a wide variety of stage acts performed all day and until lights-out each evening. The park was closed in 1989. Its site later became the now defunct Lake George Action Park.
