Stoughton's Beach ~

This was a real treat for us as kids. There were cabins, too, that were for rent in the summer.

The Old Stone House
Built 1819
As children we heard frightful stories about what happened here, everything shrouded in mystery.

"The Old Stone House" Original Photo
Built in 1822 by John Brown. It was one of the best known of the old post houses during stagecoach days of Western Pennsylvania, located at the intersection of the first two public roads through Butler County - the Pittsburgh-Franklin Pike and the Butler-Mercer Pike.

Merry-Go-Round ~ Stoughton's Beach

After leaving Alameda Park this carousel we loved went to Stoughton's Beach and after that it was on display at the Smithsonian in D.C. for about seven years and before it was moved to its present location, Old Tucson Studios in Arizona.
