Joyland wasn’t Wichita’s first amusement park — you can learn the story about the original park Saturday, February 16 at 2:00 p.m.

Filmmaker Sara Harmon is screening For Your Amusement: The Wonderland Park on Ackerman Island in the DeVore auditorium at the Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum. The film tells the tale of the city’s first amusement park — housed on an island in the middle of the Arkansas River.

The screening is free to attend but space is limited. See the trailer here.
